2026 Outreach: The AHOY Centre and TRIBE Freedom Foundation

At JAC, we have always believed that small actions can create big impacts, and 2026 is no exception. This year, we are proud to announce two causes that sit at the heart of our Outreach programme: The AHOY Centre and TRIBE Freedom Foundation.

This year marked our 10th rowing event with The AHOY Centre, a Deptford-based charity that transforms the lives of disadvantaged, at-risk, and disabled young people through water-based activities including sailing, rowing, and powerboating. The JAC team, Splashflow Forecast, took to the River Thames for the summer rowing challenge, covering the iconic 8.5 mile course from Greenwich to Chelsea. The crew, Lee Talbot, James Chapman, Vitoria Brown, Charles Tyler-Westwood, Caroline Kirkman and Josh Potter, took on the course in support of AHOY, and together we raised an amazing £3,835 for the cause.

We were also pleased to be joined on the water by Hunters and Archer, both competing for the JAC Challenge Cup. Congratulations to the Archer team, who took home the Cup as this year’s winners.

Alongside our long-standing partnership with AHOY, we are also honoured to be supporting TRIBE Freedom Foundation for the first time. TRIBE Freedom Foundation is a charity dedicated to fighting modern slavery and human trafficking, funding frontline organisations that rescue survivors and restore lives. It is a cause that speaks to our values as a business and as a team, and we are proud to stand behind their important work.

Our Outreach programme reflects who we are as a company. It is not just about fundraising; it is about showing up, pulling together, and using whatever platform we have to make a difference. Whether on the water or beyond it, the JAC team is committed to both challenges wholeheartedly.
