What's been achieved so far by the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation

The Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation has some very exciting stats to share with you as we kick off a New Year.

The past 2 years have been phenomenal for the International Sailing Charity, and through Bart's Bash, gala dinners and charity events, they have raised a fantastic amount of money.

This money has allowed them to work with sailing organisations across the world and bring sailing to those young people who wouldn't typically get the opportunity to experience it.

Since May 2014 the Foundation has supported 20 different and inspiring projects across the world, supporting organisations to do everything from teaching young people to sail, training Instructors, rewarding Volunteers and giving unique experiences to young people.

The figures are great and it's down to all the wonderful supporters. Without this level of support, it just wouldn't be possible. The team have big plans for 2016, both for Bart's Bash which is now taking place across 2 days (Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th September) and their second round of grant giving, which is due to be announced in the coming weeks.

The easiest way to keep up to date with the Foundation's work is to like and follow the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation and Bart's Bash on Facebook and Twitter.

We hope you have a great sailing season in 2016.
