At Inland and Coastal, we are proud to support Autism on the Water (AOTW) and their work to help autistic people, families and carers enjoy time on the water.
AOTW is one of the main charities we sponsor, and we are very pleased to have supported the charity for the 200th anniversary edition of Cowes Week 2026. The event gave the AOTW team a chance to raise awareness of their important work while taking part in one of the biggest sailing events in the UK.
The team competed in IRC Class 7 as part of a fleet of more than 600 boats. They also used Cowes Week to promote their work in the local community and meet autistic families.
Murray MacDonald, CEO of Autism on the Water, says: “We are extremely grateful to Inland and Coastal for their support. Their help, along with other sponsors and partners, has enabled us to take part in Cowes Week and continue raising awareness of what we do. We are proud to have them alongside us.”
Jon Challis, Business Development Manager at Inland and Coastal, comments: “AOTW is a very worthwhile charity and we are proud to support them. We believe everyone should have the chance to enjoy the water, and we are pleased to play a part in helping AOTW make sailing more inclusive.”
We are proud to support AOTW and look forward to continuing our work with the charity and helping more people experience the benefits of being on the water.
