Jubilee Sailing Trust
Funding crisis The Jubilee Sailing Trust needs to raise £1.2 million by the end of September or it will face closure.
The charity, based in Southampton, offers tall ship sailing experiences to disabled people, and has lost £1.4 million in income since the start of the pandemic in 2020.
The charity's ship, Lord Nelson, is currently up for sale, and investigations are under way to explore the potential for a sale and leaseback deal of its other vessel, Tenacious.
