Catenum Fund

An adaptive dingy for disabled access to sailing at Frensham Pond with donors, club volunteers and Fund Manager Zoe on a sunny day

Established in 2019 by donor John and his wife, the Catenum Grants Fund began with a focused mission to support a specific rowing club close to John’s heart. Over time, the fund’s scope has expanded to embrace a broader vision: using sport as a catalyst for positive change. The fund particularly aims to support clubs that enhance accessibility, ensuring that individuals with disabilities and additional needs can actively participate in sports.

In addition to supporting sports initiatives, the fund has also extended its reach to local Citizens Advice Bureaus, where John volunteers, reflecting his commitment to community service.

We are immensely grateful to John and his wife for their unwavering support of local sports causes in Woking and across Surrey. Their contributions are making a significant impact.

A notable grant from last summer enabled Frensham Pond Sailability Club near Farnham to purchase a specially adapted dinghy, giving individuals with physical disabilities the opportunity to experience the joy of sailing.
