Our Charity
Allan has asked me to look into a finding a charity to recieve our first annual donation.

I am proposing The Ellen MacArthur Trust

"Our aim is to support, empower and enliven children suffering from cancer, leukaemia or other serious illnesses by introducing them to the joys of sailing on the sea.

The Trust was launched by the internationally-renowned sailor Ellen MacArthur on 2nd January 2003. In Ellen’s words:

“Meeting the challenge of sailing at sea, the children gain confidence and are reminded that there is life beyond their illness. At the same time they meet friends suffering from the same disease, which reminds them they are not alone in their struggle.”

Please have a look at their website and post your comments.

One thing I have been told about charities is that if one is going to donate, it is better for them if they know that the donation is going to be forthcoming for, say, 3 years. I believe it helps them with their budgeting.

On the other hand, as we are an international association perhaps our chosen charity should also be an international one.
