GRANT AWARDED - ARNSIDE SAILING CLUB
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £650 to Arnside Sailing Club for 20x childrens spray tops/cagoules, 5x buoyancy aids, 5x helmets, gloves and a throwline. Arnside Sailing Club is a charity promoting water sports including paddle boarding, canoeing and windsurfing as well as sailing.
They have an active children's sailing programme and offer lessons to children, including schools and youth groups at both Arnside and Killington, where they are a RYA Training Centre. Earlier in summer 2024 they also offered lessons to children with parents on a low income in partnership with Kent Estuary Youth Project. They aim to keep their fees low so that costs are not a barrier to taking part.
To be able to keep the children safe they need to be properly dressed and equipped, especially when conditions are wet, windy or cold, so the club wanted to be able to provide spray tops/cagoules and gloves, as well as the essential buoyancy aids and helmets in a range of appropriate sizes. We were delighted we could help with this.
