Empowering
Young People into Maritime Careers
OPENING DOORS INTO TRAINING, BURSARIES AND PATHWAYS INTO NAVAL AND CIVILIAN SEAFARING ROLES
BACKGROUND
A true trailblazer and leader to
inspire a generation
Founded by those who loved Gillian, the Foundation honours her life and career by expanding access to maritime training and bursaries for under-resourced young people — with a focus on girls and young women who aspire to careers at sea. The Foundation partners with cadet programmes, SETAs and industry employers to fund practical training and placements.
THE FUTURE
Shaping a Legacy for
Generations to Come
As the Foundation grows, it will form strategic partnerships, launch targeted initiatives and create platforms that ensure Gillian’s legacy continues to inspire and empower future generations. This is only the beginning. We invite you to join us as we shape a lasting legacy that turns vision into action and remembrance into meaningful change.
