RYA Sailability looking for new trustees
RYA Sailability is the charity of the Royal Yachting Association, promoting sailing for disabled sailors of all ages in the UK. The charity supports over 200 Sailability groups providing grants for specialised equipment, training for volunteers and fast tracking Paralympics athletes. RYA Sailability trustees raise the funds to make all this happen through fundraising events and sponsorship. They are currently seeking new people to join this dedicated group with experience in grants, corporate sponsorship, individual giving and financial planning. If you are a sailor all the better but if not there’s plenty of help to get you on the water!
RYA Sailability centres are run by passionate, dedicated, practical people who are determined that no disability presents any boundaries to enjoying sailing. Over 17,000 disabled sailors currently enjoy the freedom, exhilaration and independence that sailing offers but the charity aims to get many more people out on the water. Sailing also offers a great social life, gives carers and families a break and everyone the chance to learn new skills.
If you would like to ‘Make Disability Plain Sailing’ and have energy, commitment and enthusiasm contact Ann Chewins of the RYA on 023 8060 4103 or email ann.chewins@rya.org.uk for an information pack. Closing date for application is June 29th 2007.
