This document serves as our annual report for 2023 – 2024.
The trustees send many thanks to everyone who has donated and given their support to Hilary’s Dream Trust (HDT) over this year. The Trust would not succeed without the continuing commitment and work of its trustees and supporters – thank you!
This year we have provided wet weather sailing gear to two individuals embarking on a challenging sail round Britain. Another grant recipient has taken up the challenge and the opportunity develop sailing skills further by sailing with an MS charity overseas.
The trustees are pleased to announce that HDT is continuing to fund Oceans of Hope UK with an annual grant of £5000. Our grant has enabled Oceans of Hope UK to continue their work and specifically funded day sails to reach and enable more adults with MS and other life challenges to experience sailing and the freedom that sailing brings. This year our grant money went directly to Oceans of Hope “Sail the Solent” event that took place in July. Oceans of Hope UK also took over 100 people with MS sailing between the 30th of June and the 14th of July on board a special chartered boat, and also the amazing vessel “Spirit of Scott Bader”. This amazing event brought together people from around Britain and Europe and was a great opportunity to celebrate “magnificent sailors.”
Going forward - Our goal, as always in all our endeavours, is to help and support adults with disabilities and disabling conditions to experience sailing, achieve their sailing dreams and support their recovery and increase their resilience.
