We are the charity that creates accessible and affordable watersports and sailing opportunities for young people in Cornwall.
Formerly the Helford River Children’s Sailing Trust, the charity supports children through their schools or home education groups, helping them grow in confidence, competence and resilience – personal skills that last a lifetime.
We also run commercial courses and sessions for groups, individuals and families on the Helford River and at Trevassack Lake, called CST Experiences. With every swim, sail and SUP session you purchase, you’ll be helping Children’s Sailing Trust’s work to create opportunities for kids to get out on the water who wouldn’t otherwise get the chance.
It has been a wonderful experience for our students, improving their mental and physical heath, learning about themselves and each other and achieving more than they thought they could, improving self esteem and confidence.
Children’s Sailing Trust is a charity founded on the Helford River, Cornwall in 1997 with an ambition to make sailing accessible to all. Through sailing young people develop attributes that are helpful in life and learning: how to be resilient and work with others; solve problems and make decisions independently. They find out about the natural world and how to keep themselves safe on the water. Starting out in sailing requires equipment and expertise. Support us in our ambition to become the leading teachers of inclusive sailing for 8-16 year olds and create the next generation of sailors.
You can choose activities at our two fantastic venues
