Story

After 35 years working in the NHS, Andrew has lost the plot & is sailing round the UK, solo unsupported and undeterred in a 13ft laser dinghy.  He is the ‘Shrink in the Drink’.  He needs your support in supporting others.

The Andrew Simpson Foundation was inspired by Olympic Gold and Silver medalist Andrew ‘Bart’ Simpson MBE. Our mission is to transform lives through sailing.Absolutely everything we do is driven by our belief that all young people have the ability to excel and succeed in life and work. We believe that the challenges of sailing and watersports do this by promoting health and well-being whilst also building essential life skills. These skills then enable young people to progress through education and into work.
