Our Partners
Fleetwood Beach Wheelchairs would like to thank the organisations and community groups who support our work:
​
Rotary Club of Fleetwood
The original idea for the charity came from our chair of trustees, Michael Gray, a member of Fleetwood's proactive Rotary Club and throughout they have encouraged him to look at what could be achieved. The Club has made a substantial donation towards the cost of a chair, and many Rotarians also volunteer for the beach wheelchairs.

​
Fleetwood Town Council
A large donation from the Town Council's community fund supported the purchase of three chairs in our fleet. Two of our trustees are also local councillors, passionate about making Fleetwood a better place to live and work in and to visit. The support of the Town Council ensures the charity is always closely linked to the community.

​
Wyre Council
Securing suitable premises was always essential to the founding and the long-term success of Fleetwood Beach Wheelchairs. Wyre Council have worked closely with us with the leasing of our 'Wheel Base' headquarters just a few metres from the Promenade. Officers of the Council continue to provide their expertise and support.

​
Healthier Fleetwood
The first partners approached to get the idea off the ground was Healthier Fleetwood, a not-for-profit organisation with a remit to "connect the community". Much of the administration and marketing has been overseen by officers of Healthier Fleetwood, as well as introductions to potential funders and partners.
