Jubilee Sailing Trust

iPro Sport has recently teamed up with the Jubilee Sailing Trust (JST) and to celebrate this partnership we will be jointly hosting a Sail Day aboard the ’Tenacious’, setting sail from Gunwharf Quays, on Friday 7th September 2018.

WHO & WHAT IS JUBILEE SAILING TRUST?

The Jubilee Sailing Trust (JST) is an international, United Nations accredited disability charity, promoting integration through the challenge and adventure of tall ship sailing.

JST provide life-changing adventures to people of all ages, backgrounds and levels of physical ability. Their voyages change lives by improving self-esteem, building confidence, and providing fantastic leadership and life skills.

JST has been changing lives since 1978. In that year it became a registered charity through the extraordinary vision of a dedicated group of people working against the odds to make their dream a reality.

The JST takes both disabled and able bodied men and women to sea, to not only teach them how to crew a tall ship, but to promote equality, sharing and to celebrate our individual differences by working together to achieve greater things.

Regarding forces rehabilitation, JST passionately believe they can be of great service to injured and recovering personnel on a variety of levels from their extensive experience to their profound slogan ‘Changing Lives’ - making the charity a credible source for rehabilitation.

The JST is here to build the bridges of awareness and understanding and by using two fantastic, specially designed tall ships, break down barriers for a better, more inclusive world.

The Jubilee Sailing Trust’s aim is to integrate men and women of all abilities through the challenge and adventure of Tall Ship Sailing. The charity wants to break down barriers and correct misconceptions around disability and allow people to challenge their own perceptions and prejudices. JST voyages enable people to push the boundaries and open themselves up to new opportunities.
