About Us:

Around and Around: Support us Support Lively Lady provides a much loved and valued service for the community.

The young adults taking part in Around and Around are from the age of 12 years plus.Their life experiences to date substantially limit their future opportunities and this project aims to address those limiting factors. 22 young adults have been involved with this first stage of the project.For many of the young crew, learning to sail has been a big part of the learning process. However it is the trust, responsibility, teamwork and self-confidence that develop along the way that will help them to turn around their chances in life. Also critical to their long-term development are the budgeting, provisioning, organisation, planning and management skills that are vital to making any large-scale voyage such as this work.

Supporting them are the adult skippers and young adult co-skippers, all veterans of the successful Raymarine Lively Lady Project. This group of young people is just the start of a long-term project. As each group ‘graduates’ they move on to become the mentors for the next group.

So we can continue to offer and even expand our service! We're looking to get the "PORTSMOUTH's HISTORIC YACHT" The Lively Lady around the world again", and we need your help in getting her ready to go back around the world for a 3rd time

Thank you for your support and good luck!

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs Carol Jenkinson
