We are very proud of Pavlos Kontides who has been crowned Laser Class World Champion in Split, Croatia! The Foundation is supporting Pavlos once again this year!

Last night during the Sea Cadets' reception, the Foundation's  sponsorship of £200k was announced for the construction of a Rustler 42 sailing yacht, ready mid 2018, to train & support further Sea Cadets. Stelios Haji-ioannou & his team are very proud & excited to be involved. A great evening meeting the team, other supporters & some of the cadets themselves. Excellent speeches including former Sea Cadet Dan Snow.
