We are delighted to partner with UKSA: UKSA is a maritime youth charity and world-renowned training centre of excellence. They inspire and support children and young people to broaden their horizons through inspirational water-based adventures, education and training for careers at sea. They are passionate about enhancing life skills, developing resilience, confidence and teamwork, everything we encourage for our members.
As part of our partnership, they are offering your Groups discounted weekend stays – for either one or two nights stay, inclusive of all food and travel. As part of this they would be able to fund all those on Free School Meals as part of their Leave no Child Behind Fund, which was set up to ensure that no child should miss out on an opportunity to enjoy a residential trip. Groups can contact them directly regarding this opportunity using them either as a basecamp or a full activity weekend.
