Support the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust this Christmas and help inspire more young people to believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer.
Having cancer is the darkest point in a young person's life. Life goes on hold at the time you should be at your most adventurous and vibrant.
Our life-changing sailing and outdoor adventures give young people back the hope, joy and light that cancer stripped away.
Help bring brighter days to more young people next summer by supporting the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust this Christmas.
Help the light the way to more brighter futures by decorating our Giving Tree.
Donate to illuminate a light, hang a bauble, a present or a bell, or even balance the star on the top!
You can personalise your donation with an heartfelt message or a photo too.
Our virtual Giving Tree is a fun and visible way to give what you're able this Christmas.
And it’s a symbol of the brighter futures we can create together.
Struggling to know what to get someone who says they don’t want anything? Not sure what to do for Secret Santa? Maybe you'd rather people spent money on something other than you this season? Donating on someone's behalf is a great way to give them something while transforming young lives after cancer.
This is a great time of year to organise something fun and festive to raise money for the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.
How about encouraging your friends and family to blow away the Christmas Day cobwebs by taking the plunge at a sponsored Boxing Day dip? Our team will be doing this on the Isle of Wight again this year so if you don't dare to dip yourself, why not support them instead!
Or perhaps there's a festive event already happening locally you can get involved in and make us your chosen charity? However you want to make your difference, we can help with resources and support, so just tell us your ideas!
Win great prizes to gift someone this Christmas.
Would your family or friends enjoy the chance to win £750 worth of Spinlock gear and a day for two people with our awesome lifejacket partners, Spinlock, including a tour of their Cowes HQ, lunch and live product testing?
Or maybe you know someone who would love the idea of owning the exclusive 'Victory 04' painting worth £2,750, by the dynamic artist Summer Jane?
Tickets for both raffles cost just £10, with the Spinlock raffle closing on Saturday 30 November (5pm) and the Summer Martin art raffle closing two days earlier on Thursday 28 November (12pm).
I’m the kind of person who might keep themselves bottled up, but now, I’m opening my bottle, slowly.
Sailing was like therapy for Omar, who found a safe space to open up and connect with others like never before. He explains how spending four days on a boat with people that have similar experiences allowed them to really bond.
