Funding boost for Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust

Aberdeenhire Sailing Trust has been awarded £10,552 for its ‘Sailing for All’ programme. The project involves the purchase of four new topper dinghies for the trust to use at its base at Peterhead Lido. The boats will replace existing boats which have reached the end of their working lives and will allow the trust to continue its sailing lessons, activity programmes and holiday projects with children from across Aberdeenshire. Trust princiap, Angie Fraser, said: “The Coastal Communities Challenge Funding will allow us to purchase four topper sailing dinghies for Peterhead. “These boats will provide amazing opportunities for children and young people. “We know they will change lives, the most fantastic news!”
