Eric Twiname Trust

Eric Twiname Trust grants

Grants from a small sailing charity to help young people in full-time education at UK schools or universities (up to age 25) to sail or race, for example by helping clubs buy boats or equipment. Any group may apply, but individuals may not. The Trust looks kindly on requests that would not get sponsorship or aid from bodies such as the Sports Council or the RYA. It also runs separate subsidised-dinghy schemes with RS Sailing.
