“I feel incredibly privileged and humble to be able to support Toe in the Water and to watch the change in the young servicemen from their first day of training to when they go to collect the prizes on the last day. They just want to be respected for who they are and not their injuries and Toe in the Water gives them this respect in full.”
Dick Turpin, Managing Director of Artemis Fund Managers Ltd

“By working together UKSA and Toe In The Water are able to provide huge positive impact on young lives. The relationship builds on the strengths of both charities to achieve the best immediate and long term outcomes for the beneficiaries. Chris is our first amputee to progress to study for a career in professional yachting and leads the way with the Toe in the Water ethos that anything is possible.” Jon Ely, Chief Executive, UKSA

Working in partnership with other organisations in delivering what we do, as well as facilitating how to move forward, brings results far greater then we can achieve on our own and we’re immensely proud of the relationships we have established.

Toe in the Water receives no statutory funding and relies entirely on voluntary contributions from individuals, trusts and companies. We strive to run the project with the minimum of administrative related costs and apply smart business principles to our charity, whilst always staying focussed on our sole aim – to re-inspire.

Thank You

The support Toe in the Water has received has been invaluable and we could not deliver our objectives in re-inspiring, re-engaging and re-integrating injured servicemen and women without all their help. During the course of the season we have seen some life changing events and have yet to meet someone who has not been overwhelmed by what can be achieved. We continue to be in awe of the commitment and hard work of all those involved and would like to thank everyone on behalf of Toe in the Water.
