Ellis Beach wheelchair gift
Last year the ‘Goss’ featured Bollywood, a local fundraiser in Mossman, which resulted in the acquisition of a beach wheelchair intended for Douglas Shire.
Coincidentally, at the same time, another beach wheelchair was supplied, by a third party, to the Port Douglas surf life saving hut.
With this spare chair available, Mossman Support Services are gifting the Ellis Beach Surf Life Saving Club with their wheelchair this Sunday, November 17, to help them become a more accessible beach.
To celebrate this, there will be a barbecue in the carpark, on the beach side, near the patrol hut.
They encourage anyone interested in viewing the wheelchair or wanting to meet the SLS team to drop in from 10.30am to 12.30pm.
It will be of particular interest for people and families who may be living with, or supporting someone with a disability, and would like to use the access at Ellis Beach.
