The newest organisation that we would like to tell you about here at Cardiff Connect is Challenge Wales.

Challenge Wales is a fantastic charity offering young people the opportunity of sailing on a 72ft around the world yacht. It can be an excellent way of engaging young people from disadvantaged backgrounds into a new exciting diversonary activity.

Having sailed around the world twice in the BT Global Challenge Races, Challenge Wales is a big boat experience in Cardiff for young people and adults. As the largest sail training vessel in Wales you can learn skills such as teamwork, communication, respect for others and self-esteem. Adults can join Challenge Wales for fundraising trips which include big boat sailing days, evening sails and trips that are further afield. It’s also an excellent way for companies to entertain clients while giving something back to a local charity. And if you enjoy sailing or want to take sailing up then you can let Challenge Wales train you and you could help become a volunteer crew member!
