Our Commitment to Giving Back: Supporting Charities Close to Our Hearts
At McIntosh Tours, supporting charities and making a difference in our communities is a responsibility we are honoured to uphold. Every year, we select charitable organizations that have touched us personally—charities that have impacted either our family, friends or our customers in meaningful ways. This approach ensures that our commitment makes a difference where it counts.
Supporting Lifesaving Services: RNLI
As a company dedicated to sailing tours, safety on the water is at the core of what we do, and there is no organization more fitting to support than the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Every year, we commit to contributing to this remarkable organization, which provides a critical service by saving lives at sea. RNLI’s mission aligns directly with our dedication to safety, and we’re proud to play a small part in supporting the brave volunteers who risk their lives to protect those in danger on the water.
Honouring Those Close to Us
Over the years, we have had the privilege to support several other charities that have personal significance to our team. Among them:
- Edinburgh’s Hospital for Children: We supported this invaluable healthcare facility for its dedication to helping young patients and their families during challenging times.
- Parkinson’s UK: We are proud to contribute to this charity that provides essential resources, support, and research for those affected by this condition.
- Pancreatic Cancer Action: Cancer has impacted us all in some way, and we wanted to support Pancreatic Cancer Action for its focus on early diagnosis and awareness—a cause that brings hope to families facing this aggressive disease.

2025 Charity Partner: Breakthrough T1D UK
This year, we are thrilled to announce our support for Breakthrough T1D UK, a charity that champions research, education, and advocacy for Type 1 diabetes. For many people, Type 1 diabetes is a life-altering condition that demands constant management, and our commitment to Breakthrough T1D UK is a personal one. By offering sailing experiences to raise funds, we aim to contribute toward advancements in Type 1 diabetes research, making a difference for those living with the condition and those who support them.
Sailing with Purpose
For us, charity is more than just a financial contribution; it’s about engaging our entire community in meaningful causes. Our sailing tours not only create unforgettable experiences for our customers but also serve as a vehicle for giving back. By partnering with these exceptional organizations, we are honoured to contribute to causes that make a profound difference in people’s lives.
