Sponsorship and donations

Corporate sponsorship

MAKE A DONATION - 96.1% of our expenditure in 2008-9 went on the direct delivery of our charitable services.

OYT South would like to thank all the companies who give us generous support, donating funds, gifts-in-kind, or skills – many of which are listed on our major sponsors page.

We are always happy to discuss ways of working with our corporate sponsors so that they benefit from the arrangement. This can mean voyages for staff or their children; corporate days sails for their clients; photographs and publicity; or logos on the boat.

Supporting Ocean Youth Trust South provides us with unique opportunities. Not only by providing team building events for employees, but more importantly to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds and encourage the next generation of sailors - our future!

For over 20 years MDL have enjoyed working closely with OYT South where each year we have provided the opportunity of taking deserving youngsters to sea aboard John Laing. We very much value our special working relationship with OYT South as they understand our goals and tick every box in terms of creating opportunities for individuals to experience new challenges and to shine as part of a crew. For many, these experiences with OYT South are life changing and become memories to be cherished.

Raymarine is proud to support Ocean Youth Trust South in its work to expand the horizons of today’s young adults – it’s a great way to help them recognise both their own potential and that of others in the big wide world out there.

TMI is proud to have supported OYT South for many years.  We have seen the real difference the charity’s work has made to the lives of deserving young people, encouraging them to stretch their horizons so that they are better equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s business world. Our partnership with OYT South is ideally aligned with our business mission to inspire change in individuals, to engage with the aims of their organization and to give people the skills, tools and desire to make a difference in whatever job they do.

We are proud to support the Ocean Youth Trust in the development of young people from all walks of life both as individuals and through the thrills of working as a team in a challenging environment.  Such experiences will give them a great start in life and, hopefully, a love of the sea and all things maritime.

Our corporate sponsors are not only in the marine industry: we are constantly looking for imaginative ways of creating links with companies in other sectors. For example, S C Johnson Ltd, makers of Toilet Duck, sponsored John Laing’s new toilets in 2005, in order to ensure we had facilities which were worthy of their product.

OYT South is always happy to discuss ideas for new corporate partnerships – contact the office.
