Sail Aid UK has been granted Charity status. Set up in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Irma to pro-actively unite the UK sailing community in a long-term fundraising drive to help the victims of the Caribbean Islands most severely impacted by the September hurricanes, the Charity has now opened the Grant Application process.
Those organisations with whom the Charity's Trustees are already in touch have been approached to file an Application in line with the Grant Making Policy - both documents are available in the footer on the SAUK website for anyone to download.
In the meantime, Sail Aid UK is promoting its online merchandise, currently a range of T-shirts that have been specially commissioned, designed and printed to raise funds for Sail Aid UK by many members of the amazing superyacht fraternity in Palma, Mallorca. These can be purchased direct online here: https://www.sailaiduk.com/shop and would make a fun extra Christmas present, available in adult men's and women's as well as in junior sizes.
Anyone can also donate directly to the Sail Aid UK Action Stations Fund here: https://www.sailaiduk.com/page/how-to-help.
The team at Nautilus Yachting raised and donated a fantastic £400 through their bookings promotion at September's Southampton Boat Show.
