Changing lives
We help children and young people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to engage in challenging and rewarding residential watersports activities to increase their self-esteem, motivation and confidence.


Schools and groups...changing lives
Funding required: £50,000

We need to raise £50,000 each year to sustain and grow the number of young people we help through assisted funding.
Last year over 5,000 children and young people visited us to experience residential watersports activities. With donations received we provided £50,000 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."

Mendip Children’s Residential Care Home

"Both Diego and Jack are quiet boys, partly due to their speech difficulties. They have become more confident and willing to initiate a conversation then before and are attending school more regularly."

Elm Court School, Brixton, London

"Highshore caters for pupils with speech, communication, emotional and behavioural difficulties. A number of pupils have autism and physical disabilities. Over the last 6 years UKSA has provided assisted funding to enable over 80 students to take part in residential watersports experiences."
