|---|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20||During the year ended 31stAug 2023, our major<br>activities were to raise funds on behalf of and<br>make grants to support the Greig City Academy<br>(GCA) Sailing Programme. We also continued<br>discussions with major sailing bodies about<br>enhancing diversity in the sport.<br>Fundraising<br>We are extremely grateful to all the donors and<br>volunteers who have supported our work.<br>GCA’s extraordinary sailing programme would<br>not be possible without them.<br>Grants made:<br>Grants totalling £80,000 were made to the GCA<br>Sailing Programme during the year, and a<br>further £100,000 committed by year end.<br>Additional grants, primarily from trusts and<br>foundations were made directly to GCA to<br>contribute to the costs of the sailing<br>programme.<br>The GCA Sailing Programme is the leading<br>state school sailing programme of its kind in the<br>UK. No other school is entering multiple boats<br>to compete and win prizes at Cowes Week<br>including the Young Skipper Trophy and the<br>Youth Trophy, while also entering students in<br>elite sailing events such as the Etchells Worlds<br>and the ILCA (Laser) Nationals.<br>Together with this wider support, our grants,<br>enabled the GCA Sailing Programme to<br>continue to provide exceptional opportunities to<br>state school students from inner city London to<br>develop confidence and skills through sailing.<br>The comprehensive programme of activities<br>and support is offered to the students includes<br>regular dinghy sessions, regular racing on<br>school and privately owned boats as well as<br>residential sail training voyages on ocean going<br>yachts. Some of the dedicated students also<br>gained experience competing at international<br>level, and support to gain professional<br>qualifications to progress within the industry.<br>We believe the GCA Sailing Programme is one<br>of the leading initiatives in promoting diversity<br>and accessibility for young people of colour in<br>sailing. This is evidenced in the positive media<br>attention that the sailing programme gains,<br>which included feature articles in the Times and<br>the Daily Mail in 2023.|





For more details of the activities we have supported during the year, please see the News page on our website: https://scaramouchesailing.org.uk/news/ Other activities The Scaramouche Sailing Trust supported GCA’s work to signpost other schools, to help them get more involved in sailing. We have also continued discussions with the RYA and other sailing bodies about how the lessons from GCA’s experience can be applied more widely to enhance diversity in sailing. We look forward to continuing all our work in the year ahead.
