Sailing boats.
Building bridges.
Only after treatment ends can a young person start rebuilding their life following the devastation of cancer.
We provide the bridge between treatment and a young person seizing the future they may never imagined possible.
Get Involved
We currently only have the funding to offer our life‑changing trips to
1 in 10
young people recovering from cancer.
Trip testimonials
Of all the medicines that Maxine had, it was her first Trust trip that made her feel better.— Maxine's mum
The week has been the best! I never I thought I would get the chance to do this. The best bit is being on the boat and just sailing around and even getting to steer! I’ve made loads of new friends, I’ll definitely stay in touch.— Danielle, 15
It is great to see the smiles on peoples faces and give something back to The Trust. I hope that sharing my experiences can help them. This week has been great; it has been mainly water fights with a bit of sailing!!— Chris, Trust Graduate Volunteer
He realised there is a lot more to life and he is so proud of his achievements. This was the best trip he's ever been on, it brought him out of himself.— Larvell's parents

It's great to see how the Trust has grown since our first trip in 2003, this summer we will be setting sail on 47 trips and supporting more young people than ever before. We would like to say a special thanks to the players of Peoples @PostcodeLottery for helping us achieve this.
