Looking beyond… Then seeing it through…
Our Approach
Our aim as a charitable trust is to promote adventure sailing voyages for people of all ages, especially those with mental health and rehab problems.
This work is developing slowly but this is no bad thing as we are keen to do it well. We believe there's a lot more to this activity than simply putting people on a sailing boat for a week.
That would doubtless have benefits, but we believe that the best outcomes are achieved by an 'envelope of care' where a client has some contact and input before the voyage, and then stays in touch after it, perhaps going on to join future trips as a helper or volunteer.
Our first such person is currently starting work as a volunteer with Tectona, having got through all the necessary paper-work and CRB checks, etc. To see this guy making such a success of his new life and bringing so much positivity into his work with our sea staff is heart-warming indeed.
