About UKSADisability
We aim to improve the quality of life for those with disabilities through watersports and yachting experiences. The sense of achievement this instils makes a significant contribution to increasing confidence and self-esteem.
Funding required
We need to raise funds each year to sustain and grow the number of young people we help through assisted funding.
By removing barriers to participation in sailing and watersports, we provide opportunities for people with disabilities to develop their skills and confidence through on-the-water activities.
For some people we offer the chance to try new experiences and gain as much independence as possible. For others who want to pursue sailing as a career, we take steps to help them achieve this. For everyone, spending time on the water is empowering.
Making a difference to people’s lives...
All of the group learnt a great deal and boosted their confidence and self esteem throughout the three days.

Sailing has given me something I never thought I would have, it has brought me challenge, satisfaction, enjoyment and a huge sense of achievement.
