As part of that training, each Young Adult must work as part of the team to raise £1000 each as a contribution to their air travel and subsistence, both on the boat and in port. Through the work done over the months before departure they gain valuable life skills, enabling them to set their lives back on track and achieve their potential or their personal goals. The fundraising is an important part of this as it teaches them about organisation, managing money, motivation and working as a team.

All the fundraising done by this project goes towards the Young Adults’ fund. All monies or donations in kind raised through sponsorship have provided for the training of the Young Adults (both sail training and all other training) and the refit and ongoing maintenance of Lively Lady. The co-skippers all fund themselves.

This site is all about finding and encouraging new ways of financially supporting the Young Adults of The Raymarine Lively Lady project. Please explore the pages on this site (and of course the main project site!) and help support the project. You can do this by joining in one of the events shown or if you shop on-line (and who doesn't these days?) then use our links to your favorite shops and sites and we will get a little commission or maybe buy a pin-badge or just make a donation, right here, right now.

If you would like to see what happened at some of our previous fundraising events, then please take a look here.

 Many thanks for your support.

Lively Lady, Sir Alec Rose's historic yacht in which he completed his solo circumnavigation in 1968, will make 27 stops on her voyage around the world. On each leg her crew will change and two more young adults will come on board. Full details of the project can be found at www.livelylady.net, along with details of the crews’ progress and daily reports from onboard.

		The magazine "Our Lively Lady" is now for sale in the 'Our Shop' page. Written by the crew and skippers, this great value publication describes the complete voyage. It would make a great Christmas present!
		Lively Lady is now home, but please keep supporting us. We still have lots of costs to cover! Shop on-line with Tesco? Then please use our link:
		Check out ABC Publications of Australia and look at the books 'Deep their Grave' and 'Either Way Dead' by Lively Lady supporter Tony Gyles. He has very generously sponsored the Singapore to Thailand leg of the journey. Many thanks! Both books can be purchased from www.amazon.co.uk
