The AHOY Centre is a charity established to develop a boating and sailing centre catering for all, young, disabled and retired alike. It offers them all the experience, opportunities and new horizons gained through water based activities – plus the opportunity to learn to sail, race, row, build and maintain boats. The AHOY works with many different sectors – the disadvantaged, youth people with disabilities, local schools, youth offenders and people at risk of offending, and many other groups and organisations. It also runs projects working with the Metropolitan Police and the Probation Service.
The Centre is a recognised RYA teaching establishment and 'Sailability' Centre and provides professional training towards recognised qualifications.
Mandy has been at AHOY since before it became operational 5 years ago and has developed and grown as the centre has, and has become an asset in terms of fundraising and day to day development. She has, with the help of others, put into place health and safety criteria/documents as well as Marketing, PR to ensure that AHOY has been able to continue to expand its activities.
