First time trips

Four days can be transformational. It's not about sailing, but the magic that happens when young people with shared experiences are together on a boat.

Return trips

Many young people need continued support in recovery. Our UK-wide sailing and multi-activity trips mean they can stay involved for as long as they need.

Sibling trips

Brothers and sisters can be significantly impacted by the long-term illness of a sibling. This is their chance to shine, confide and have fun with others who understand.

When treatment ends our work begins

Only after treatment ends can a young person start rebuilding their life from the devastation of cancer. Confidence means something different to each young person, and they all take something unique from their trips. But, most importantly, they stop feeling like ‘the only one’ and can start thinking positively about the future.

Lewis's Story

"Believe in yourself and don’t think that you can’t do everything."

Losing a limb to illness can have a terrible impact on a young person's confidence. A Trust trip supported Lewis in rediscovering what he is still capable of.

We're so sad that, due to COVID-19, we can't run first time trips or our scheduled return trip programme in 2020. But we will still be here for young people who need us this year and beyond. Click here for more information.
