About us

Founded in 2010, the Sir Thomas Lipton Foundation is a registered charity.

We care deeply about propelling 10 to 12 year old children – at school in areas of acute social and economic disadvantage – into their critical teenage years with an unforgettable experience of sailing, enterprise and achievement.

At the heart of Buoyed Up is a narrative about the life and example of Sir Thomas Lipton.
