The sailing charity, which changes
people’s lives through adventure and exploration onboard its tall ship,
Tenacious, will benefit from Peninsula providing fuel for JST’s sailing
voyages.
Not only will this enable the JST to deliver upon its mission more easily, it
will, in turn, reap the benefits of working together with an inspirational, international
organisation.
Peninsula Founder and CEO John
Bassadone, said his company is pleased to be working in partnership with a
charity that mirrors his organisation’s own ethos and values.
He said: “At Peninsula, we have a
profound admiration and respect for the ocean and believe everyone should have
the opportunity to experience the freedom gained by being at sea, regardless of
personal circumstances or abilities. The ocean is our office and we are
committed to protecting it and showcasing everything it has to offer.
“The JST is an inspiration, and we
are proud to be involved in the amazing work it undertakes to help individuals
recognise their tenacity and self-value on board its flagship. As a keen sailor
myself, I want everyone to be able to experience the joy and excitement that
comes with being on the water.”
This collaboration with Peninsula
means the JST can continue its vital work, and Patrick Fleming, JST’s Chief
Executive, is delighted to be able to announce the partnership.
He said: “It’s incredible to be
joining forces with Peninsula as it becomes JST’s first high-value Pioneer
partner. It is most important for us to build mutually valuable partnerships
with businesses that enable us to both benefit financially but also to work
directly with them to explore the benefits that our unique work can bring to
workforces. Peninsula’s support means we can continue to change lives at sea.
“We have no doubt the partnership
will be as beneficial to Peninsula’s company and workforce, as it will be for
us.”
As Pioneer sponsor, Peninsula, will
supply a large amount of JST’s fuel over the tall-ship voyages in 2022 which
starts with the upcoming first-of-its-kind “Big Weekends”. In turn, the JST
will work closely with the organisation to create a bespoke programme of
collaboration, offering Peninsula a way to focus their charitable efforts,
improve staff morale and encourage teamwork through voyages and events on board
