Children’s Sailing Trust relies on grants and fundraising to be able to deliver its charitable objectives of free and heavily subsidised sailing opportunities for children and SEND groups. We are incredibly grateful to Trinity House for accepting our application to provide funding towards taking our opportunities that one step further and creating a path of progression for young people.
CST educates primary aged children, growing their confidence, competence, resilience and creative thinking skills through activities on the water around the Helford River and our Trevassack Lake HQ but we now have a bursary for some of those children to continue their education and progress on through the RYA stages so that we can take them under our instructor training wings and set them up for life-long careers.
Please note, the grant is only open to students in receipt of Free School Meals:

Apply for the Trinity House Sailing Bursary
CST work with many disadvantaged students to help them attain life skills and thanks to Trinity House, we have a funded Bursary program that eligible families can apply for so that children might discover and learn the new skill of dinghy sailing or progress on from their current ability.
