Support us

Welcome aboard!

Our highest need is day-to-day running costs. Rides go out ‘back-to-back’ with just 30 minutes between each.

With 4000 rides a year there’s plenty to organise and high wear and tear…

All resources go into rides.

Our base is two sea-containers and we are there year-round. We manage with no running water or flush-toilet!

We have just 3 part time staff and 50 volunteers.

We compete for donations from a starting point of less resources. Many charities can employ fundraisers but our operational staff are responsible for fundraising alongside all their ride operation work.

How you can support our small local charity

  • Give monthly or quarterly or a one-off donation a regular gift means we can better plan for the future too. To make a donation click our red ‘donate’ button at the foot of any of our web pages.

  • Leave a gift in your Will - A lasting legacy gift will help sustain our work for many more people to benefit from in years to come.

  • Celebrate with us Facebook birthdays – or any other kind of birthdays, are a helpful way to celebrate. Look for the menu option of ‘raise money’ or ‘fundraisers’ via your Facebook page and set-up a fundraiser page in 1-minute. 

  • Fundraise at work. Whether you run a business or work with a fantastic team, we’d love to be part of it. Nominate us as your company’s charity of the year, consider corporate sponsorship, payroll giving, or get together for a sponsored challenge.

  • Sponsored events.   Set up your own organisation/company/individual fundraising page on Go Fund me your page collects gift aid (25% extra on UK tax-payer donations). Larger total, faster and no admin!
