Sail 4 Recovery was set up by Vince Pearson following on from the the success of the Norfolk cycling challenge under the banner of Ride 4 Recovery in the autumn of 2021, which raised funds for the Norfolk Community Foundation to supports its response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In 2022, Vince Pearson raised money for the Sir Norman Lamb Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund (managed by the Norfolk Community Foundation) and for the hospitality industry charity Springboard by embarking on two legs of Clipper Round the World yacht race in April 2022. Vince sailed on a 70 foot racing yacht from Seattle to Bermuda and then New York via the Panama Canal, with the final leg across the Atlantic Ocean to Londonderry and then ultimately London at the end of July 2022.

From the beginning of 2023, Vince is now hoping to provide opportunities for disadvantaged young people in Norfolk to participate in a sailing experience. Specific Norfolk-based charities that offer sailing programmes will be engaged with to help improve both the wellbeing, confidence and resilience of these young people. Vince aims to raise this money via a golf team event at Barnham Broom Golf and Country Club on Friday 1st September 2023 and through donations to his Sail 4 Recovery fundraiser. If you are interested in entering a team for the golf event, please contact Vince Pearson at vince.pearson@me.com or 07720 428187, or Richard Maxwell at rgmaxwell@hotmail.co.uk or 07581 008538.
