Trip Information

Young people’s stories are pivotal to more young people being inspired to come sailing with us. Photos and interviews from trips are key to this.

Your Media Consents - Images & Interviews form will be emailed to you, asking if you would be happy to be photographed, filmed and/or interviewed on your trip and explaining the ways these might be used.

When you receive that please do complete and submit it to let us know.

Remember: Your consent can be withdrawn or changed at any time.

What should you do if you've been or feel ill before your Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust sailing adventure?

We support young people after cancer, including some who are clinically vulnerable. So, to keep everyone as safe as possible, there are a few things we ask.

You can find all the latest advice here - Guidance on pre-trip illness

If you are taking replacement Hydrocortisone and have an Emergency Hydrocortisone Injection, are at risk of an anaphylactic allergic reaction and have an emergency adrenaline auto-injector or have been told we require a blood count within 7 or 28 days before the trip (depending on your circumstances), there are some other things to do too.

We need your help to keep making the biggest difference possible to young people after cancer treatment.

Around your trip you will receive three short wellbeing surveys – two weeks before, immediately after and three months post-trip. You will get these via email and text.

Please complete all three surveys. This helps keep our trips free for everyone and improve what we do.

Ideally, we would like to send the surveys directly to all young people aged 14-17 child. If this is ok, please complete the ‘Help us understand our impact’ section of the Media Consent form you will also get before the trip. This will only be used for the surveys; all other contact will stay with the parent/guardian. When they get the surveys, please ask them to fill them in.
