What was their challenge?
Morvargh does great things supporting young people to gain valuable life skills and growing their confidence and self-esteem through providing inspirational sailing trips on their 57 ft sail training boat. But it's an expensive business to be in with constant upgrades to the kit and the boat, which is often caused by the weather, something totally out of their control!
What was the support you provided / offered
I've been working with owners Matt and Vicky for a number of years, providing mentorship and social enterprise business support, to help them plan for the future.
What was the impact or outcome of support?
The impact is that Morvargh continues to grow and build its presence, against all odds. They have made a new home in Cornwall with great new connections and managed to establish themselves as a strong presence in the Fowey area. They completed an amazing Round Britain Trip this year with 10 youngsters which was a huge challenge and they continue to change lives.
BCause, and Jon in particular, have been a critical friend to Morvargh and have been helping us define our longer-term strategy. Although we are still early in the journey, he has been invaluable in helping us look at our business model and identify ways to move forward. He has bags of experience and always has a solution or connection that can help us.
