Youth Group Voyages

Who is it for?

What is this service?

A voyage at sea is a powerful, positive and effective way of working with young people, particularly for those who struggle in mainstream society. The experience takes them away from their usual environment and places them in a confined but safe environment where, alongside their peers and fellow crew members, they face challenges that produce positive outcomes.

They have a fleet of three very different vessels which sail from various ports around the UK These can accommodate groups of various sizes of up to 16 people. They generally take young people aged 12-25 years but can work outside of this in some circumstances.

The young people and their youth leaders get involved in all aspects of running and sailing the vessel, both above and below deck – such as getting involved in planning and navigation, learning to cook for themselves and each other and keeping a tidy ship. They learn about themselves, develop an acceptance of others, develop a willingness to take controlled risks, discover hidden strengths and talents and gain an understanding of the value of working as a team.

Whilst every group is asked to make a contribution towards the voyage fee the Trust also raise funds through their Voyage of Discovery Fund to help you cover the costs. For this reason the cost will depend upon the voyage, the type of group and what they can raise through their own resources.
