We have been really enjoying the lovely weather in Portsmouth for the start of our Autumn programme here at PSTT. Currently we are working with four schools, taking groups of young people sailing weekly and as you can see from the photo here they are really enjoying being out in the sunshine and on the water.

As we all know, being outside in or on the water and taking part in exercise has so many positive benefits. These young people experience a boost in self confidence from trying out something new, have positive social interactions as they work together as a team to sail the boat, and learn resilience as they overcome the challenges of learning a new sport. All of this – and it’s lots of fun as well!
