Sponsorship and donations

Corporate sponsorship

MAKE A DONATION - 94.2% of our expenditure in 2006-7 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.

“As part of the marina industry MDL is proud to be associated with such a worthwhile charity as Ocean Youth Trust South, which introduces boating to young people who wouldn’t normally get the opportunity.  Some of the youngsters sponsored during our nineteen year association have said that their week aboard John Laing has begun a long term love affair with the sea and sailing.”
Jon Eads, Marina Director, Marina Developments Ltd

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.
