Ocean Youth Trust: The Challenge of the Sea

OYC/T 50th ANNIVERSARY

You can help OYT celebrate this important anniversary by taking a few minutes to complete the questionnaire below

The ‘Ocean Youth Club’ was founded in 1960 by Chris Courtauld and the late Chris Ellis and now operates as a number of separate regional ‘Ocean Youth Trust’ charities. We have taken over 100,000 young people to sea over almost five decades.

To celebrate our 50th Anniversary in 2010 we want to make contact with as many people as possible who have sailed or supported us by collecting information, photographs, stories and memories to gain publicity for our charity's achievements and alert a new generation to the possibility of sailing with us. We will keep you informed about our anniversary events and may even be able to put you in touch with old friends!

We plan to collect evidence about the impact that OYT and our sail training activities can have on people. Demonstrating the value of our work helps us to secure funding. This allow us to keep our boats in good condition, and helps provide places to deserving young people who would not otherwise be able to afford a voyage.

Thanks for taking the time to complete our survey - we really do value your interest.
