The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) is among the first group of over 40 organisations working in partnership with Sport England to benefit from its new funding model, as it plays a foundational role in the sport and physical activity sector and is well placed to help level up access to sport and physical activity across the country.
The RYA has been awarded the long-term government and National Lottery funding from Sport England because it has committed to co-deliver change at a national and local level, to help more people enjoy the benefits of playing sport and being active.
More than £190 million is being invested for this first group, with the 43 partners including the RYA receiving funding for up to five years. This new funding model from Sport England provides longer-term financial security as organisations recover and reinvent from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sport England's support and funding are critically important in sustaining a broad range of RYA initiatives, including Sailability and other grassroots programmes such as OnBoard - the RYA's children's sailing and windsurfing programme - and our youth and junior performance pathway.
Since 2005 almost 1 million young people have been introduced to sailing by RYA OnBoard and our Sailability groups run over 50,000 sessions a year for people with disabilities. Our friendly clubs have something for everyone - whatever your age, background or level of ability. Start your journey today at www.rya.org.uk/start-boating.
