Leave a Legacy of Adventure and Opportunity
Supporting the Rona Sailing Project through Gifts in Wills
Why your legacy matters
For over 60 years, the Rona Sailing Project has provided life‑changing offshore sailing experiences for young people from all backgrounds and adults with additional needs. As a volunteer‑run charity, the Rona Sailing Project offers affordable and inclusive sail training voyages that build confidence, teamwork, resilience and self‑worth.
By leaving a gift in your Will, you help ensure that future generations can experience the same transformative opportunities regardless of financial hardship, personal challenges or special needs.
Every year, hundreds of young people and adults with additional needs discover new strengths, friendships and moments they will never forget. Many come facing obstacles, from chronic health conditions to learning difficulties, and leave with renewed confidence, a sense of belonging and vital skills that will help them throughout their lives.
