Luke Gilbert - Trust Ambassador

Everyone at the Trust was so saddened to hear that our Ambassador Luke Gilbert passed away yesterday.

Luke first came sailing with the Trust in 2010 as part of the pilot for our 18 - 24 year old trip. Luke enjoyed his first trip with us so much that he returned the following year and completed our Volunteer Training Programme in order to volunteer on the trips and help other young people in recovery from Cancer.

He became an Ambassador in 2012.ed away peacefully, at home surrounded by those he loved, at this time we would like to send all our love to Julie Dave Laura and Angie and all of Luke’s family and friends.

Luke was an inspiration to everyone at the Trust, a big brother to those who needed one on a trip, he also represented us speaking at Trust events, meeting HRH The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh and raising funds for us at his infamous Back and Blue ball.

Everyone at the Trust who met Luke will have their favourite memory of him, he will live on in everything we do. We will all miss him so much.

Luke passed away peacefully, at home surrounded by those he loved, at this time we would like to send all our love to Julie Dave Laura and Angie and all of Luke’s family and friends.
