Did you know that it costs about £12,000 a month to keep Horizons running?

Horizons does not receive any statutory funding from the Government or Local Authority. In order to keep our projects going it is essential that we raise income through public donations, and charity funding grants. There are lots of local charities doing great work in their communities, so it can be very competitive to get funding from charitable trusts and grant giving bodies.

Horizons fundraiser, Kathy, and our team work hard to secure the income needed to keep Horizons afloat, and we would welcome your help and support.

You can read our Community Impact Report to find out more about our work, and how we help local young people through our inclusive sailing and motorboating activities.
