The Tall Ships Youth Trust, the UK’s oldest and largest sail training charity, is dedicated to giving disadvantaged or disabled young people the opportunity to develop teamwork, communication and life skills through experiences at sea.
Ten youngsters from the Hive Youth Zone in Wirral were selected to take part in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – setting sail from Devon, through the Isles of Scilly and Cardiff before arriving in Liverpool.
The club’s official charity donated £3,000 in order to provide bursaries for the young sailors aged 12 to 18, who participated on the voyage from Brixham, Devon to Liverpool.
