North Berwick Community Centre Management Committee wishes to support a group to develop a community led scheme to loan paediatric and adult beach wheelchairs. Beach wheelchairs could be made available to people with restricted mobility who can’t at present get onto the beach. The group have carried out a local survey (over 100 respondents) and organised a ‘Come See, Come Try’ Day which attracted over 70 people. The group is preparing an operational plan including booking system, risk assessments to ensure health and safety. They have organised a public awareness event to attract more volunteers and interest in the scheme. The ‘Come and Try event’ was very successful generating enthusiasm, drive and passion for the project (BBC Radio covered the event). The project will include volunteer training to ensure protection of children and vulnerable adults, safe usage of the chairs, maintenance and storage. They wish to purchase 2 beach wheelchairs (1 adult, 1 paediatric) to test the scheme in North Berwick and provide insurance cover for storage and usage of beach wheelchairs.
