Partners

Blue Spirit works in partnership with organisations that offer sailing experiences to young people. These organisations – Ocean Youth Trust North (OYTN) in North Shields, Cirdan Sailing Trust and Derwent Reservoir Sailing Club – have a wealth of experience in providing safe and exhilarating sailing experiences to a wide range of people.

We also partner with community groups and charities who are well-placed to identify and refer young people who would benefit from this kind of experience. This fund is not limited to people suffering from mental health issues, but is for any young person who would not normally be able to access this kind of experience and who would benefit from enhanced wellbeing, gaining self-confidence or an opportunity to have time for themselves in nature.
