Youth Afloat is part of the Johnnie Johnson Adventure Trust, which was formed in 1972 to teach water sports to disadvantaged youngsters aged between 6 and 18.

It is a Midlands based Charity which through its centres provides outdoor activities for young people, so that they may channel their energies into constructive and challenging pastimes.

No youngster is excluded because of his or her race, religion, colour or creed. Youth Afloat does not charge for its activities, but asks for donations to help fund the running costs of its centres. The trust relies solely on donations and the dedication of voluntary helpers. If you feel that you could help either by making a financial donation or giving us some of your time, please contact one of our centres.

Activities include: Sailing, Kayaking, Canoeing, Windsurfing, Improvised Raft Building, Orienteering, Archery and Mountain Biking.
