Iʼve raised £830 to Help Save SYM Sailing Club from Eviction.
- London Borough of Havering.
- Funded on Wednesday, 19th May 2021
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
SYM Sailing Club (Stubbers Young Mariners) is facing eviction from Stubbers Activity Centre, its home since 1982. We have been prevented from resuming sailing on the lake by Stubbers and told to clear the site.
The club is actively fighting this eviction, engaging with local MPs and councillors, and launching a legal challenge to preserve this valuable resource for Havering and Essex.
Please donate now and help raise the funds needed for ongoing running costs and potential legal fees incurred in fighting this unjust eviction.
Club History:
SYM is a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) recognised training centre which teaches people of all ages and abilities to sail safely and affordably. The Club is unique as it is managed by volunteers, has its own fleet of 35 boats and all the instructors are RYA qualified.
As a community-based club SYM has helped Cubs, Scouts, Guides, an Autistic Society group, GCSE students, Duke of Edinburgh candidates and even trained young sailors to represent Havering in the London Youth Games. The family friendly atmosphere builds personal confidence, independence, diverse thinking and supports good mental health all whilst being an environmentally friendly sport.

3 years agoHi All, We just want to thank you for all your kind donations. Because you have been so generous we have been able to pay our ongoing bills and attempt a legal battle with the landowner to no avail. Our ongoing costs continue to be met thanks to your donations this has also bought us time to negotiate further on behalf of our members. Understandably, we have closed the giving down now as our legal position has been established. If you wish to know more, please contact us through our Facebook page or website. Many Thanks SYM Sailing
