Team Endeavour Racing UK CIC - 2022 Season

Aim

We are all volunteers and have no paid staff. Support our wounded, injured and sick serving personnel and beneficiaries sport recovery.

Due to an error in setting up the previous campaign, the amount raised did not meet the goal and funds were returned.  Please support this worthy cause.  Team Endeavour Racing UK provide powerboat racing and participation for wounded, injured and sick  WIS) service personnel and veterans. In its seventh year it has gone from strength to strength and is now the largest ‘Thundercat’ racing team in the world with eight fully race prepared boats. The team is now based near Portsmouth. In addition to the race boats, the team now have a 5m safety boat and an 8.5m all-weather safety boat. This ensures the team can train on the lake or offshore safely. It also allows beneficiaries to gain experience following their RYA PB2 course.

A considerable number of our  WIS beneficiaries have complex mental health conditions. We have found that some veterans do not respond to traditional therapies and many need to find another way to address their mental health condition. We have found that high speed and high adrenaline pursuits really helped. A lot of former service people miss the camaraderie and security of the military, and they also miss the rush. Powerboating allows beneficiaries to take their mind off things in a way that is constructive, enjoyable, exciting and with a purpose. For the first time we now have shore support crews who are part of the team. This enables those who do not want to race to take part in the sport.
