Beach wheelchair service in Fleetwood
Our beach wheelchair service in Fleetwood has chairs for different ages and needs, plus a wide range of equipment, including a four-point Molift hoist, cushions, lumbar and lateral supports, pommel cushions, a transfer board and much more.
The wheelchairs can be used by anyone who has a mobility issue or an additional need which means a chair is needed to get on to the beach. All of the chairs are manual, and clients need to be accompanied by someone to push them on the beach.
Our aim is to help everyone enjoy the beach comfortably, safely and with confidence. We tailor each chair and equipment setup to the individual, helping make transfers and access onto the sand as easy as possible. Every chair is serviced regularly and cleaned and sanitised after each use.
