In advance of the Charity Day Sail, Alex Lochrane (CEO) commented:
"The charity day sail is a fantastic opportunity to meet other charities and for them to experience a taster of tall ship sailing with the JST. We hope the day raises awareness throughout the charity sector and highlight the potential of working with us and how it can enrich people’s lives. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and welcoming them on board."
