Donate and help us

As a small Sail Training organisation, every donation makes a real and immediate difference to the young people who sail with us.

Donate, inspire and change lives.

Morvargh Sailing Project is a small, volunteer-led Sail Training organisation; powered by the commitment of our volunteers both afloat and ashore, and sustained by the generosity of those who believe in young people. Your support enables us to offer purposeful, life-changing voyages to young and vulnerable adults who might not otherwise have access to the sea.

Every young person deserves the chance to step aboard, be challenged, and grow. While it costs around £110 per person per day to deliver a safe, supportive, and high-quality Sail Training voyage, we ask trainees to contribute just £75 per person per day where possible.

The difference matters. Donations help bridge this gap; ensuring that cost is never the barrier to participation, and that we can continue to deliver voyages with care, integrity, and ambition.

You can support Morvargh in a way that suits you; through a one-off gift, regular monthly giving, corporate or in-kind support, or by using EasyFundraising when you shop online. Every contribution helps change lives at sea.

Why your support matters

Sail Training gives young people responsibility, belonging, and challenge in a way few environments can. At sea, confidence is earned, teamwork is essential, and resilience grows day by day. These experiences stay with young people long after the voyage ends.

Your support helps to:

  • Keep trainee places affordable and accessible
  • Maintain a safe and well-equipped vessel
  • Support volunteers who give their time afloat and ashore
  • Reach young people who benefit most from challenge and opportunity
  • Every contribution has a direct and meaningful impact and is not spent on staff wages.

From sailing with Morvargh I have developed lifelong friendships, and experienced incredible things, laughed until I can't breathe, and never ever stopped learning. I am so privileged to be part of such a special boat family and want nothing more than for this love of the sea and sailing to be passed on, for more people to find their passion and strength, and to realise that Sail Training does change lives.

Giving you can trust.

Morvargh Sailing Project is volunteer-led and values transparency, safeguarding, and inclusion. Donations are used carefully and responsibly to support young people, voyages, and the long-term sustainability of our work. Donations do not go towards staff wages; they are directed towards delivering Sail Training, maintaining the vessel, and keeping places accessible.

Whether you choose to give once or support us regularly, your contribution helps keep Sail Training accessible to those who need it most.

You can also help through corporate or in-kind donations, or by raising funds for Morvargh in your own way. Every form of support strengthens what we can offer young people at sea.

Every gift, at any level, makes a genuine difference.
