Apply for a Blue Spirit bursary
Want to go sailing?
If you are aged between 14 and 25, would otherwise not be able to go sailing and if the experience would have a positive impact on your mental health and wellbeing, you can apply for a Blue Spirit sailing bursary.
Blue Spirit currently works in partnership with two organisations in the North-East of England which offer sailing experiences to young people. These organisations – Ocean Youth Trust North (OYTN) in North Shields and Derwent Reservoir Sailing Club in Northumberland – have a wealth of experience in providing safe and exhilarating sailing experiences.
Our bursaries will cover everything directly related to your sailing trip, including food onboard in the case of a residential voyage, hire of sailing waterproofs and visitor mooring costs. You can also talk to us if you think you may have difficulties getting to the port / club or will need to bring a carer on board with you.
Diversity & Inclusion
Blue Spirit accepts, values and celebrates differences in people. We want to contribute to a collaborative, supportive and respectful environment that increases the participation and contribution of all.
To help us ensure we are reflecting the society in which we operate, we would appreciate it if you could answer the optional questions at the end of the form.
