BeachAbility is a local charity providing specially designed manual, ballooned wheelchairs for use on the beach and other rough terrain. Available at various locations around the island, including La Braye, St. Brelade’s Bay, Gunsite, Bel Royal, West Park, La Mare and Long Beach Gorey. BeachAbility is for any person who finds that, for whatever reason, they have difficulty walking on the beach. People who have used their beach wheelchairs include: • People with long-term disability from conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, head injury, motor neurone disease, spinal injury and cerebral palsy. • People with temporary mobility impairment such as those with a leg in plaster. • People who are weakened by medical conditions such as breathing difficulties or cancers. • The elderly, who are not disabled but may be frail and find the beach a challenging environment to walk on. • Those who would like to attend weddings, birthday parties and family gatherings.
