Welcome to the Whirlwind Charitable Trust.

Our Trust exists to provide funds to charities that make a difference to people’s lives. This could be by improving the life chances of disadvantaged young people or by helping those living with disability fulfil their potential, including funding for disabled children to participate in sailing and other outdoor activities.

We also have a particular interest in understanding and improving our marine environment, and this is reflected in many of the charities we support.

This site includes information about our work, the people and organisations we support and why.  We hope it will enable you to understand whether your charity and Whirlwind could be a good fit.

If you would like to donate to the Trust, we would also love to hear from you.

We hope you find what you are looking for here.  Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions or ideas, whether you seek funding to help disabled children go sailing, a marine conservation project or you just want to get involved!
