Offshore: It's Your Adventure

Offshore: It's Your Adventure, founded by Joan, is nestled in Ipswich and is all about sailing and adventure. Joan's school offers residential sailing trips for young people and vulnerable adults, aiming to spark adventure and lifelong skills in everyone who joins.

A registered charity (Registration Number 1035015), Joan's mission is to push people out of their comfort zones and into new horizons. They provide useful info like real-time vessel tracking and easy contact through phone (07842 262 154) and email (sailing@offshore.org.uk).

The office is at Tolken, The Lane, West Mersea, Colchester, Essex, CO5 8NT.

Understanding that money can be a roadblock, Joan offers bursary schemes to make sure no one misses out. The Wider Horizons Fund for 15-25-year-olds and the Access Fund for those from disadvantaged backgrounds can cover fees. Get the application forms from their office.

Joan's work relies on support and sponsorship to keep the adventures going. Donations to the Wider Horizons Fund help young people gain essential life skills. Joan also has 10k projects, like engine replacements and hiring professional skippers, that need funding. You can even sponsor a trip or cover the school’s overheads.

Choosing Offshore: It's Your Adventure means not just a memorable sailing trip but supporting a charity dedicated to making these experiences accessible. Sponsoring them backs the development of life skills and personal growth in young people and vulnerable adults.
