UKSA is delighted to announce that our recent fundraising abseil down the iconic Emirates Spinnaker Tower has raised an incredible £1,600, thanks to the generous support of our brave participants and their sponsors. The event, held on Saturday 20th July, saw fundraisers take on a 100-metre descent, enjoying breathtaking views across Portsmouth Harbour, the Solent, and the Isle of Wight.

UKSA is delighted to share the success of our Kick Off Cowes Week summer party, supported by Mermaid Gin, which brought together over 150 of our valued supporters to celebrate an incredible milestone – the ten-year anniversary of our local "Test the Water" programme. The event, held at our waterfront campus in Cowes, was a fantastic opportunity to thank our supporters and provide an update on UKSA's exciting future plans.

Last week, the much-anticipated charity events in aid of Polly’s Fund delivered two extraordinary evenings of music, fun, and community spirit under the glorious summer sun. The concerts saw the return of Andrea Colombini and his wonderful performers. Andrea is Director of the Puccini Festival in Lucca and had been so inspired by the Polly’s Challenge story and how it benefitted Isle of Wight children.
