Taymara

About

Taymara is a Scottish charity that improves the quality of life for people facing severe ill-health, especially children, and for people with learning disabilities. We do this by creating inspiring experiences that build confidence, skills, and fresh perspectives. Through safe, supported trips on the River Tay using our vessels, participants explore wildlife, navigation, teamwork, and problem-solving. These activities help shift focus away from illness or limitation and towards curiosity, learning, and possibility. For children affected by serious illness, we also provide follow-on land-based activities linked to heritage, environment, and everyday life, giving them positive interests to share with family and friends. For people with learning disabilities, our work helps reveal abilities that are often underestimated, renewing confidence for both participants and carers.
