This charity, run entirely by volunteers, is dedicated to providing access to the beaches of the north east of England.
The objectives of our charity, are to offer free loan of all terrain wheelchairs, together with associated items such as walking frames, for use on North East Beaches, recreation venues and beauty spots around the area, to enable equal access for people of all ages and physical limitations.
Our equipment will be used by individuals, local organisations, schools and charities who work with people with physical limitations.
Since setting up in 2017, we have been nominated for an award run by Living North magazine in 2019, won the Whitley Bay Cup in 2020 , shortlisted for NE small charity award run by The Chronicle in 2020 and won the 2021 award for NE small charity run by The Chronicle.
We currently cover beaches at Bamburgh, Newbiggin-by-the-sea in conjunction with the Maritime Heritage Centre, Blyth, Whitley Bay, Cullercoats, Tynemouth Longsands, South Shields and Seaton Carew.
We hope to have access to all terrain chairs at Plessey Woods soon and are also in discussion with Redcar council.
We are passionate that everyone should be able to enjoy the wonderful north east coast.
