Charity
The Beneteau Cup has been supporting the Jubilee Sailing trust for many years, and is delighted to continue the support of this fantastic and worthwhile charity during the 2009 event.
In the UK there are over 10.8 million people with a disability, 6.9 million of whom are of working age - which equates to just over 18%, almost 1/5th, of the UK's entire working age population*.
Looking at the numbers, and considering that one-in-four of us is close to a person with a disability, it is amazing that there is still that element of prejudice, misconception about ability and a lack of awareness of the things that can make life inclusive. The JST is here to build the bridges of awareness and understanding and by using two fantastic, specially designed tall ships, break down barriers for a better, more inclusive world.
