Centor Support the Tall Ships Youth Trust

Centor were delighted recently to send a number of our team along to support The Tall Ships Youth Trust for a day’s sailing on a 60m brig ’Stavros S Niarchos’.

Departing from Southampton, the Centor staff joined the volunteer crew and young people that the charity so admirably helps on an action packed day of activities. During the day we climbed the masts, took the helm and set the sails.

It was a fantastic experience for all involved and gave us a tremendous insight into the excellent work this charity does to support young people from many varied backgrounds.
