The Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation New Website

International sailing charity, The Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation has launched a new website which demonstrates how it is currently working to use sailing to promote health and wellbeing, and develop personal skills that will improve a young person’s ability to succeed in life and work.

On the new site you find out more information about the projects that have benefited from financial and practical support over the past 12 months, and read specific case studies of some of the young people whose lives have been positively impacted. Visitors can also meet the ambassadors who support the cause and download material for the participation and fundraising event, Bart’s Bash, which is taking place on 17th and 18th September 2016.

This year the charity has decided that Bart’s Bash will be used to raise funds to help promote and develop disabled sailing globally. The funds raised from the event will be distributed with the aim to support grassroots disabled sailing projects and make disabled sailing more accessible.

There are also a number of other ways to support the work of the Foundation including: volunteering and taking part in a variety of events.
