OUR SUPPORTERS

Royal Harwich Yacht Club

The Royal Harwich Yacht Club founded the Woolverstone Project in 1993 and has supported the club in so many ways ever since.

The Woolverstone Project started life as a sub committee of the Club, but when the Woolverstone Project become a charitable trust it separated from the RHYC. This allowed the Woolverstone Project to take advantage of the gift aid that can be added to donations.

The Woolverstone Project then became an associate member of the RHYC and who support the Project by generously waiving the normal associate member fee. They also donate charitable funds that they receive, including funds from the Suffolk Council paid for recycling.

RHYC also help the Woolverstone Project in practical ways. The WP sailors and volunteers are allowed to use the RHYC changing rooms and other facilities without charge to themselves or the Project.

RYA Sailability

RYA Sailability is a registered charity within the RYA and is part funded and supported by them. It exists to provide guidance and support for groups across the country who work with sailors with disabilities. This support includes helping to finance training and equipment, providing help with finding and training volunteers and sponsoring and supporting events and regattas.

The Woolverstone Project has always worked very closely with RYA Sailability, providing a useful sounding board for ideas and developments and, as such, has been awarded the position as the regional Centre of Excellence
