Windsor Ascot Maidenhead District Sports Association for the Disabled

WAMDSAD is unique in the UK and has a strong and growing national reputation. It is a sports club providing facilities for physically and sensorially disabled people in the district of The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and surrounding areas. Our Members’ include all types of physically and sensorially disabled people covering a whole range of disabilities – the blind, the deaf, amputees, heart disease, paraplegics, tetraplegics, multiple sclerosis: the list is endless. But not only disabled people – their families and friends too, supporters, coaches, escorts, helpers, and volunteers of all sorts.

Welcome to the Jubilee Sailing Trust (JST), a unique

charity that aims to promote the integration of people of all physical abilities through the challenge and adventure of tall ship sailing. The JST owns and operates two tall ships, LORD NELSON, and TENACIOUS. These magnificent ships are the only two vessels in the world that have been purpose-designed and built to enable a crew of mixed physical abilities to sail side by side on equal terms.

Take on the tall ship challenge with the JST: whether it's a short hop around the British coast; or a four-week transatlantic challenge; a week's island hopping in the Canary Islands or the Caribbean; or a place in the European Tall Ships' Race - with the JST you can do it all.

Our Federation of over 500 groups throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland dispenses a unique therapy. Each week over 24,000 children and adults enjoy the experience of riding or carriage driving - with opportunities to join in social activities, competitions, or to take a holiday - which combine to bring a new dimension to necessarily restricted lives, encourage independence, and do much to improve a wide range of medical conditions.
