Halcyon Yacht Charter are delighted to be able to announce their support of the wonderful work of the Ellen MacArthur Trust. The Trust which has been in existence since 2004 specialises in taking young people recovering from serious illness to sea.

This extra funding will help to ensure that more young people can engage in activity with the Trust in 2009.
Frank Fletcher ( Manager of the Ellen MacArthur Trust ) had this to say about the good news:
“The Ellen MacArthur Trust is delighted with this continued support from Andrew and the Halcyon team. This is a fantastic way for people to support the trust whilst cruising in this most fabulous vessel.“
