Tall Ships Youth Trust

About Tall Ships Youth Trust

Tall Ships Youth Trust is a leading charity in the UK dedicated to transforming the lives of young people through sailing. Established in 1956, the Trust provides unique opportunities for personal development and adventure at sea. Our mission is to empower young individuals, particularly those facing challenges, by fostering confidence, teamwork, and resilience.

We operate a fleet of tall ships, offering a range of sailing experiences that cater to diverse groups, including schools, youth organisations, and community groups. Participants engage in hands-on sailing activities, learning essential skills such as navigation, seamanship, and leadership.

Our programmes are designed to be inclusive and accessible, ensuring that every young person, regardless of their background, can benefit from the transformative power of sailing. We believe that the sea has the ability to inspire and motivate, helping young people to discover their potential.

Through our voyages, we aim to:

• Build Confidence: Young people gain self-esteem and belief in their abilities.
• Encourage Teamwork: Participants learn to work collaboratively, fostering friendships and support networks.
• Promote Personal Growth: Our experiences challenge individuals to step out of their comfort zones.

At Tall Ships Youth Trust, we are committed to creating lasting memories and life-changing experiences. Join us in our journey to inspire the next generation of sailors and leaders.
