The Rona Trust

The RSP is a registered charity and a volunteer-based Sail Training Organisation. We run inclusive Sail Training Voyages (STVs) for diverse young people aged 14 to 25 years old. In addition to sail training voyages for individuals, we also run voyages for school and youth groups as well as therapeutic voyages for groups of vulnerable adults and young people, including those with learning disabilities, mental health issues, in treatment or recovery from substance misuse, and those who are living with chronic conditions.

As a volunteer-based sail training organisation we depend on more than 300 volunteers to run the sail training voyages, with the support of a full time shore-based staff of just 4. We do not have a dedicated fundraising function so all funds raised go towards the operation of our voyages, essential equipment such as lifejackets, sails and wet weather gear.
