Gwennili Trust
About
The Gwennili Trust provides for the relief of the physically and mentally disabled, in particular ex-service people, offering respite and educational opportunities on board yachts. The primary beneficiaries for sail cruises are wounded, injured and sick (WIS) personnel and military veterans.
Sailing on the South Coast, they have developed an important relationship with the Personnel Recovery Centre at Tidworth in direct support of their WIS, similarly with the Personnel Recovery Unit in HMS Drake and WIS in HMS Raleigh.
The Gwennili Trust, founded in 1995, operates as a team of unpaid volunteers whose mission is to work collaboratively with our partner organisations to provide offshore yacht sailing opportunities for people with disabilities.
Over the years people of all ages and backgrounds, including serving and retired service men and women with a wide range of disabilities, have enjoyed the thrill of offshore sailing with Gwenneli.
They charter MCA coded yachts and look to add value to the organisations and clients that they work alongside. They do this by actively promoting offshore sailing and racing to new and existing institutions and individuals.
