Supporting Wounded Veterans are looking for veterans from across the UK to participate in an exciting, fun, and challenging week!
We are looking to engage with veterans particularly with those who may be finding transition difficult from the services, or for those who have become demotivated and isolated, we are looking for people from across the Tri Services, and Veterans who are looking for new challenges be it personal or business.
Why Sailing?
We have run two events on the Solent and around the Isle of Wight, and the feedback is, that bringing together a group of veterans in an environment that allows you to challenge yourself yet relax and communicate freely is just the anecdote required.
Criteria?
You need be a veteran, you must be able to provide us with proof of service upon request, you will need a valid passport.
No sailing experience is necessary we take veterans (here is part of the challenge).
You will need to be able to get yourself around a small boat amongst a crew of 6-8 persons
You will need to attend an interview as part of our selection process these generally last no longer than 30mins.
A GP letter of consent to attend will need to be completed prior to confirmation of selection
You will be required to disclose and manage any prescribed treatments.
Anyone who has previously attended need not apply thank you.
When will the trip take place?
25/06/23 – 02/07/2023
The trip in the week will be at no cost to yourselves, getting to and from the start location (Gosport)will be your responsibility and if you do an overnight stay prior to the event, you will incur that cost. Meals and drinks during the week will be provided by SWV.
