The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025
We are excited to be taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025 – with huge thanks to our generous pledgers and matched-giving Champions the Reed Educational Trust Limited.
This December, we aim to raise vital funds towards our S.O.S Campaign – Safety, Operability, and Sustainability. The three key pillars underpinning our vital youth development work.
With your support, we can future proof our fleet of iconic Challenger yachts, and empower more young people to lead on ocean sustainability.
Your donation will help ensure the fleet can continue for another 20 years, giving young people the best possible voyage experience through enhanced conditions and onboard technologies.

For the young people who we support, a voyage is much more than simply learning to sail. It’s an opportunity for them to step away from the challenges of everyday life – whatever they may be – and to immerse themselves in a completely new experience.
During their time on board, they will learn to work as a team and support one another, build resilience, grow in confidence, and develop the vital life skills needed to become successful young adults.
They will benefit from engaging with the positive adult role models on board, something which can often be missing from their young lives, as well as make new friends and memories to last a lifetime.

The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025 is an incredible opportunity for you to DOUBLE the difference.
From midday on Tuesday 2 December (#GivingTuesday) until midday on Tuesday 9 December, every penny you give via our Big Give campaign page will be matched up to £15,000. Giving us the chance to raise an incredible £30,000 in just seven days!
Please support our campaign by making a donation during the LIVE week.
Together we can change more young lives at sea. Thank you.
