The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust will celebrate its 10th anniversary by creating a sailing hub in Largs, North Ayrshire, during the summer.The charity has been running from the Isle of Wight, taking young people aged between eight and 24 who are recovering from leukaemia and other cancers on four-day trips.
Using £40,000 of funding from the People's Postcode Trust, it will take the young people for two weeks in July round the coast of Scotland.
Dame Ellen said: "We are really pleased to be working in Scotland. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world to sail."
