About Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust
The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that supports young people aged 8-24 in rebuilding their confidence after cancer through sailing and other adventure activities.
When treatment ends the Trust’s work begins because, for many young people, picking up where they left off before their diagnosis isn’t possible. Confidence grows by making friends with others who have had similar experiences, rediscovering independence and learning new skills. This goes beyond a one-off experience so young people are invited back annually.
Once 18, young people can also return as trip volunteers; having these positive role models is vital for young people in the early stages of recovery. The Trust’s sailing bases are in Cowes and Largs, Scotland.
