A huge thank-you to all those staff at Steria in Manchester for their fundraising efforts for the Neil Murphy Sailing Trust.
A grand total of £689.18 was raised from a variety of activities, including a raffle and cake sale.
Now that’s a lot of cake!
The first recipients of funding from the Neil Murphy Sailing Trust experienced lakeland weather for their first taste of sailing.
9 boys and girls from Preston attended a hands-on, two-day session at Glenridding Sailing Centre surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Ullswater.
Quote of the day was on arrival – “Oh my god! Imagine living here.” Despite the cold, all had a great time. Let’s hope they are the first of many!
If you know of any youth groups that would be interested in the work of NMST please let us know.
