Ocean Youth Trust: Support needed Mon 22nd Nov

Post by Gardenshed »

OYT Scotland is on the shortlist for £50k from "People’s Millions". They need your votes to win it. The fund will pay for adventure under sail for 84 young people in 2011 – young people who just wouldn’t get the chance otherwise. Please vote - watch the STV programme on Mon 22 November and phone in. Tel. number to be announced that morning. Lines open from 9am to midnight.

The OYT is a great organisation and just think how good you will feel if one wee phone call from you helps them get an additional £50k

I'll certainly vote.

Do you have any connection with the OYT? A sometime crew of mine was mate aboard one of their boats for a couple of seasons way back when.

PS - Will you advertise in another place too?

No commenction with OYT, I just see them as an organisation that has quietly gone about its business with no fuss (apart from the odd boat hitting the rocks) that gives many many folk an opportunity to experience sailing. No bling, no celebrity endorsements and if a few phone votes helps them get another £50k, then so much the better.

Saw this on the Clydesailing Forum and thought that the kind spirited foks on Bluemoment would add some support if they also knew about it.
