About UKSASchools and youth groups
We help children and young people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to engage in challenging and rewarding residential watersports activities. We inspire and support them to increase their self-esteem, motivation and confidence.
Funding required
We need to raise funds each year to sustain and grow the number of young people we help through assisted funding.
Last year over 6,000 children and young people visited us to experience residential watersports activities. With donations received we provided a substantial level of assisted funding, enabling those who would not normally have the opportunity to benefit from time away from their normal environment. These programmes prove to be life-changing experiences for many participants.
Making a difference to children’s lives…
Our residents’ confidence hit an all time high and they have all been empowered by the visit…their lives have improved as a result.
