Sail Training Trust

Enabling, motivating and supporting young people to reach their full potential through maritime training and qualifications.
Sail Training Trust
Working in a delivery partnership with the Andrew Simpson Foundation, the STT programme spans both water-based and land-based training, cultivating a robust foundation of confidence, teamwork, and leadership capabilities.

Moreover, participants acquire valuable RYA qualifications that not only enrich their personal development but also propel them towards successful careers.

By facilitating access to sailing experiences for those who might never otherwise step aboard a boat, STT supports personal development, skill-building, and a deeper connection to the marine environment. This includes enabling inner city young people to achieve their full potential. Through collaborative programmes and shared values, STT helps create life-changing opportunities which improve employment prospects that align with ASF’s mission.

As an outreach-focused charity, the Sail Training Trust amplifies ASF’s belief in sailing as a tool for transformation. Its focus on accessibility and inclusion helps further ASF’s goal of using watersports to promote wellbeing, develop life skills, and support pathways into education and employment for all young people.
