Kids on the Water

Show Event Details

Information:

Kids on the Water is an annual charity event organised by the Rotary Club of Great Britain.

Based in Chichester Harbour, their objective is to give local children with learning difficulties a day out boating in the harbour. Many of the children say that it’s the highlight of their year. Skippers also report that they enjoy the event. The event has been running for nearly 40 years!!

The event is a collaboration between:

  • Rotary Clubs of Chichester Priory, Havant and Heathfield and Waldron
  • International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians (Sussex Fleet)
  • Local schools for children with learning disabilities
  • Local volunteer boat owners

What you need to know:

Boat owners rendezvous at designated locations in Chichester Harbour (Chichester Marina, Itchenor Quay, etc.). Each boat needs a skipper and first mate, to handle the boat.
Schools bring the children by coach to the meeting points.
The children are broken into small groups, each with their own expert carer.
Groups are allocated to boats (typically 2 children + carer per boat). Allocation is based on the ability of the children.
The schools provide food and drink for the children. Carers, Skippers and Mates need to feed themselves.

There is an entry form that each skipper needs to complete for the Rotary Club. This will be made available in due course.

Organised jointly by GXSA and YOSC
