Story

Please support our ABP Southampton Marathon team (full, half or 10K) and the work of Wetwheels ensuring everyone can access the water with a safe, barrier-free, enriching experience.

"There is something very special about being on the water. For someone with a disability, being at sea offers unparalleled freedoms. Your mind and imagination fill with things that didnt seem possible.": Geoff Holt MBE DL, Founder and Trustee.

Wetwheels offers a unique opportunity for disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages - including those with multiple, profound and complex impairments - to access the water.

Central to our experience is active participation - helping to broaden aspirations, increase confidence and directly impact on health and wellbeing.

We continually innovate through new technologies, and improve our experience through the excellence of our teams and feedback from participants.

We ensure a sustainable operation through a range of income streams, funding and support.

By 2025, we aim to support 12,000 people every year to participate in a Wetwheels experience across the UK, with the widest reach and awareness possible.
