What we do..
The Caroline Trust is a registered charity. All donations and gifts are allocated to it's beneficiaries. No deductions are made for administration and no payments are made to Trustees.
Our objectives are to:-
- Encourage young people, especially women, to take up the sport of gliding.
- Encourage and enable people with disabilities to participate in the sport.
Why we do it..
Gliding is a remarkable adventure sport; you can start at age 15 and still be flying well into retirement.
For young people it offers an environment where real adventure is made safe through sound practices and discipline. The gliding field is a place where you find people of all ages, backgrounds, beliefs and temperaments but all sharing a common passion for the sport. For a young person it is a challenging place:-
- where you can experience a real adventure sport.
- where you will learn social and interpersonal skills.
- where working and sharing is rewarded.
- where men and women, young and old are potentially equals in the cockpit.
- where you can experience camaraderie, discipline, learning and teamwork…
..... Not a bad place to start eh!
