United Kingdom Sailing Academy (UKSA)

Official Performance Clothing Partner to Important Maritime Youth Charity

Henri-Lloyd is delighted to support the UKSA as its Official Performance Clothing Partner. Based in Cowes, UKSA is a maritime youth charity and a world-renowned training centre of excellence. It inspires and supports children and young people to broaden their horizons through inspirational water-based adventures, education and training for careers at sea.

UKSA’s ambition is to work with more and more children and young people who need its help most, helping build positive futures and pathways into maritime employment. It removes financial and social barriers by providing funding so that everyone from all walks of life can access its programmes. The organisation supports over 6,000 young people every year.

In addition, the UKSA’s MCA and STCW endorsed professional training sees some 2,000 people each year gaining the knowledge and skills to embark on careers in the marine sector.

The partnership with Henri-Lloyd means that all UKSA staff and instructors kitted out in the very latest high-performance technical clothing, keeping them warm, safe and comfortable in all conditions both on shore and at sea. UKSA students also enjoy preferential pricing on all new Henri-Lloyd clothing and accessories, which can be purchased from the Henri-Lloyd store in Cowes and online.

“The UKSA is a UK Maritime charity, which works closely with funders and partners to assist students from any background to access UKSA programmes. It is thanks to support from organisations like Henri-Lloyd that enables us to continue with our charitable work. We’re delighted to be partnering again with Henri-Lloyd, a company that shares the same ethics and values as we do.”
