Dear Supporters, the Andrew Cassell Foundation is holding a prize raffle to help raise funds that have been lost due to the COVID 19 outbreak and following lockdown period. The Raffle is to be drawn on the Saturday 19th September at Cowes Corinthian Yacht Club (CCYC) at 1800 and will be streamed on Facebook live, due to Covid 19 restrictions.

The Andrew Cassell Foundation supports individuals with physical disabilities, mental health conditions or long-term illness to take part in yacht racing and cruising, it encourages the integration of sailors with disabilities alongside more able-bodied sailors. Much of an individual’s ability to deal with the serious, personal, and lifelong challenges caused by their condition is centred around personal confidence. The Foundation helps to restore confidence lost through three primary interactions – adventure, socialisation, and achievements. Sailing in keelboats and yachts provides the ideal environment for these to occur. Lasting impact is achieved through coach mentoring within an expert supportive culture over many years.

With the current COVID 19 pandemic sadly the foundation has not been able to provide these sail training and sail racing events and the support it should to the people that benefit the most. To that end the foundation hope that holding a prize raffle can help bring much needed funds in this time of uncertainty. With the aim of being able to pick up from where the foundation was pre lockdown.

There is a £150 cash prize to be won along with, a Spinlock life jacket, £30 gift vouchers from a range of stores in Cowes, A family cleaning pack from Serenity Hygiene worth over £100, A food hamper, Two pizzas and a bottle of wine from Coast, some local art work, a bottle Mermaid Gin and many more prizes to won.
