Our charities
Fundraising target: £60,000
We are proud to be supporting four amazing charities and championing their work.
Macmillan and Prostate Cymru have supported members of the team personally, and even more people we are close to. Their work will is crucial to those who have received a cancer diagnosis, and in helping people recognise when to seek advice for symptoms. Their work will remain important long into the future.
Outward Bound helped one of the crew to turn things around, and we hope to help them do the same for many more young people.
As of November 2023, the team has chosen add The Charlie Waller Trust to our fundraising efforts. The charity represents a cause close to all our hearts as it works to ensure meaningful services and resources can be accessed by those struggling with their mental health.

Cancer is not going anywhere. And neither are Macmillan.
Right now, 3 million people are living with cancer in the UK, and hundreds of thousands more are diagnosed every year. During these extraordinary times, millions of people with cancer are counting on Macmillan for physical, financial and emotional support.
Whether it's creating new services, adapting old ones or speaking up on people's behalf, Macmillan are working tirelessly to make sure people living with cancer get the vital support they need.
The Outward Bound Trust is an educational charity that uses the outdoors to equip disadvantaged young people with valuable skills for school, work and life.
They partner with 400 schools, colleges, employers and youth groups across the UK to teach the most important lesson young people can ever learn: to believe in themselves.
Their goal is to empower all young people to succeed; for themselves, their communities and our wider society.
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in Wales. Prostate Cymru is Wales’ leading prostate health charity, supporting men with benign prostate disease and prostate cancer.
Their key aims are:
To educate men in Wales about prostate diseases and their risk.
To support treatments and improve equipment for prostate diseases.
To fund research and innovation across Wales to ensure access to the best available treatments.
At Charlie Waller, our vision is of a world where people understand and talk openly about mental health, where young people and those who support them are equipped to maintain and enhance their mental health and wellbeing and have the confidence to seek help when they need it.
The Charlie Waller Trust was set up in 1997 in memory of Charlie Waller, a young man who took his own life while suffering from depression. The Trust raises awareness of depression and other mental health problems and provides training to schools, universities, workplaces, GPs and nurses.
