Become a Volunteer Skipper with Testwood Lakes Sailability!

Help people of all abilities experience the freedom of sailing.

Testwood Lakes Sailability (TLS) is a volunteer-run charity offering dinghy sailing to anyone with a disability. We operate from April and October each year — and we’re looking for more Volunteer Sailors/Dinghy Skippers to join our crew.

As a Volunteer Skipper, you will:

• Support all aspects of our on-shore operations and help train others in key tasks.
• Take sailors out on the water for safe, enjoyable sessions.
• Tailor each outing to the sailor’s needs — from teaching sailing skills to simply giving them the joy of being on the water.
• Sign off progress in the Sailability Program booklet for sailors who are learning to sail.

No two sessions are the same — and the impact is huge.

If you’re up for sharing your love of the water and supporting others to experience it too, we’d love to hear from you.

What skills do I need?

We’re a good fit if you enjoy:

• Helping and guiding people
  
• Organising and being part of a team
  
• Working outdoors
  
• Chatting with a wide range of people
  
• Making a real difference in someone’s day
