Supporting young people from South London in maritime activities

The Ray Perkins Trust provides financial assistance to young people in Wandsworth and Lambeth.

What we fund

We focus on funding young person’s nautical groups and associations which primarily operate on the River Thames and are based in Wandsworth and Lambeth to aid successful growth and assist with the expansion of their activities.

The Trust provides financial assistance for day-to-day running costs, the purchasing of specialist equipment, special projects and events, visits and outings, approved courses for coxing and coaching, and entrance fees for waterborne and residential courses.

All applications must meet the funding eligibility criteria and all costs claimed itemised and supported by paperwork.

“This new trust is a splendid opportunity to assist voluntary organisations looking for access to waterborne activities and I heartily approve of the benefactor’s wish to help young people getting to know about the sea and ships”

The Rt Hon. the Lord West of Spithead GCB DSC
