Tideway sails on with Great Guns
In September last year I was fortunate enough to be invited to take part in Channel 4’s Secret Millionaire TV show. After spending eight days living undercover in South London, where I was introduced to and inspired by people who needed help, I chose to support three organisations, one being an inspirational London-based sailing club.
The club in question is Tideway Sailability and I am delighted to be getting involved in a project with them. To kick-start our activity, last week we helped host a fundraising event at the club’s Surrey Quays premises with the aim of attracting people to invest in the site over the next year.
A number of inspirational faces attended the event, including Hilary Lister, the first disabled woman to sail solo around Britain, and self-proclaimed ‘big fan’ local MP Simon Hughes, who expressed his support for the project. All this is great news for Tideway which is hoping to produce its own British Olympic hopeful for the 2012 Paralympics!
Here are just a few pictures from the event…
