Supporters

Rutland Sailability is a registered charity and all our helpers are unpaid volunteers

All of our funds go directly to the benefit of our members

We raise all our funds through modest member subscriptions and fund raising in the wider community.

We depend on a large number of commercial and voluntary organisations as well as private donations to purchase new boats and equipment and to fund our annual operating costs, examples of which are maintenance, insurance, safety boat running costs (without which we cannot sail) and various essential fees.

We are active in publicising our work through corporate contacts, increasing awareness through the media, press activity and making presentations to local groups.

We have an active Friends Of Rutland Sailability programme where individuals can support us through tax efficient giving and by helping promote Sailability in the local community.

Pictures on this page show examples of the range of equipment we need to supply to allow our members to have a safe and concern-free sailing experience.

We recognise the support given by our Supporters by displaying their names and logos on our boats and equipment.

Over the years we have been fortunate to have received support from many and diverse sources. We always thank those who are generous enough to donate funds. We haven't listed them all here as we do not wish to offend anyone by the inevitable inadvertent omission. We hope our Supporters understand this position.  However we do urge you to follow the link to Support Our Supporters and see what some of our Supporters are doing to raise funds ....

We publicly acknowledge recent donations by name in our twice yearly publication Gone Sailing which is sent to our Supporters
