Our programmes provide an opportunity for young people to have fun, be adventurous and learn new practical skills. For some, the chance to think about a possible career in the maritime sector. They also enable participants to try new activities, pushing them out of their comfort zone in a safe, supportive environment. All of these activities are mapped to our skills for life framework and the outcomes are shared with the schools to measure the impact of the experience on the children’s personal development. We also have a feedback session with every school and group to ascertain areas in which we can improve and to understand how the children have benefited from their time at UKSA.
