About us
Who we are
UKSA is a maritime youth charity and world-renowned training centre of excellence. For over 35 years we have been inspiring and supporting children and young people to broaden their horizons through inspirational water-based adventures, education and training for careers at sea. We are passionate about enhancing life skills, developing resilience, confidence and teamwork.
UKSA’s ambition is to work with more and more children and young people who need our help most, helping build positive futures and pathways into maritime employment.
We remove financial and social barriers by providing funding so that everyone from all walks of life can access our programmes. We rely on the generosity of donors and partners to help us transform children and young people’s lives.
