2020 was a really tough year for so many people, individually and collectively.
It felt a little strange to be in a position where our marina had a successful year. Our moorings are still full, and we had a significant increase in boat sales, both new and used.
As a result, we were in a stronger position to give back to causes that are likely suffering as a result of the environment we find ourselves in.
In December, each of the Val Wyatt team selected their favourite charities, and collectively we have given over £4,500 to:
- Mind
- Thames Valley Air Ambulance
- WWF Ocean Rescue
- Muffinpug Rescue
- Battersea Dogs & Cats Home
- Oarsome Chance
- British Lung Foundation
- Ocean Conservation Trust
- The Lullaby Trust
- National Coastwatch Institution
- Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital
Already 2021 is set to be a positive year for the marine industry, and we’re hoping that will enable us to continue to give more to the causes that need supporting.
