Our action

Help shape the future of sailing & watersports

Partner with us to make a difference

We believe in the power of innovation, collaboration, and community to break down barriers and create lasting change. Our development projects are where bold ideas take shape, pioneering new ways to reach young people, support wellbeing, and open up access to life-changing opportunities on the water.

This page showcases some of the exciting initiatives currently underway. Whether you’re a sailing centre, community leader, or passionate individual, we invite you to join our vision and be part of the journey.

Got a project in mind?

Whether you’re part of a local sailing centre, a youth organisation, or a community looking for something new, we’re always open to exploring new ideas. The Andrew Simpson Foundation can provide collaborative support, from project design and delivery to full programme takeovers. If you’ve got a project that aligns with our mission, we’d love to hear from you.

Example development projects

Our ongoing development projects explore new ways to expand access, tackle inequalities, and support young people through the power of sailing and watersports.

Expansion of access centres

We’re working with new communities to expand our Centre network. Dedicated centres focus on removing barriers to sailing for young people in underserved areas. These centres act as local hubs for learning, wellbeing and community connection.

See sailing your way

Developed in partnership with the RYA See Sailing Your Way Scheme, our Andrew Simpson Centres have been chosen to pilot a programme which encourages people with visual impairments to access sailing.

Swim Free

Creating a new programme to deliver life-saving swimming skills to children and young people from Naval families
