Sailor’s Charity Aims to Grow Income by 15 per Cent over Next Three Years
The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, a UK charity that uses sailing to support young cancer patients, aims to raise its annual income by at least 15% to about $2.4 million by 2029. The target follows a 2025‑2026 peak of $2.9 million, boosted by a one‑off yacht donation, and a baseline of roughly $2.3 million without that gift. Its new 2026‑2029 strategy focuses on diversifying funders so no single source exceeds 30% of revenue. The plan also calls for three new stable income streams and a six‑to‑nine‑month reserve cushion.
