Welcome to Youth Afloat ...

A Midlands-based Charity providing outdoor activities for young people

IT IS WITH REGRET THAT THE TRUSTEES OF THE JOHNNIE JOHNSON ADVENTURE TRUST HAVE TAKEN THE DECISION TO CLOSE THE COMPANY'S YOUTH AFLOAT OPERATIONS AT THE ARROW VALLEY COUNTRYSIDE CENTRE, REDDITCH AND AT BARTLEY GREEN, BIRMINGHAM FROM 31ST DECEMBER 2010.

THIS DECISION HAS BEEN TAKEN AFTER A DETAILED EXAMINATION OF THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS, CURRENT FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS AND UNCERTAINTY OVER THE FUTURE OF THE ARROW VALLEY COUNTRYSIDE CENTRE HAVE MEANT THAT THE TRUST IS UNABLE TO PLAN FOR THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.

THE TRUSTEES ARE CONSIDERING HOW THEY MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FUTURE SUPPORT OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN WATER SPORTS AND ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES.

THE TRUSTEES WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESS OF YOUTH AFLOAT OVER THE PAST THIRTY EIGHT YEARS, AND IN PARTICULAR THE STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS.
