As an organisation we undertook "a challenge" with AHOY, the main reason being that it was the only organisation willing to take 20 plus staff on for a day. Our day with AHOY exceeded our expectations. The organisation of the day was first class - we were looked after as a group and individually, it was not "just another group". The staff clearly love their jobs - probably unfair to call them jobs as they talked and worked with such passion and enthusiasm. We were reeling from what they were doing, and how they achieved through others. Nothing was too much trouble - by the end of the day we unanimously agreed for them to be our nominated charity for the year and set out to raise £5,000 for them. The following year we went back for another day, building on the previous experience, and presented them with a cheque for over £7,000. The place is buzzing most when they are doing what they are there to do - the looks on the faces of some of the children they'd taken out on the water were those looks and smiles you normally have reserved for Christmas - the impact of what had happened if measured on the broadness of smiles was almost off the chart. They are dedicated and deliver - I am so pleased to have had the opportunities to work with them - time very well spent!
