The money raised will help fund the two sessions of Buoyed Up activity that BSC runs each year when children from Jaywick and Greenstead primary schools spend a week with us learning the basics of sailing. We are incredibly privileged to have sailing in our lives and this week brings that experience to 60-80 children who would not otherwise get the chance. Over the course of the week they are with us we watch them blossom as they gain confidence, learn teamwork, make friends, discover that they are capable of so much more than they thought and take advantage of all the benefits sailing has to offer.
Please support this raffle and help us provide this opportunity to more children next year - it truly is a fantastic cause!
