Exmouth Beach Wheelchairs made it possible for Amelia to fully immerse in our beach session which she attends with her classmates from Littleham C of E Primary School 🌊

🌊 Beach Wheelchair Story Spotlight 💙

There's nothing quite like seeing the joy that our Beach Wheelchair Service can bring.

Recently, 10-year-old Amelia-Rose visited the beach using one of our beach wheelchairs, and she kindly shared her experience with us.

💬 A quick Q&A with Amelia-Rose...

🐚 What do you love doing at the beach?
"Looking for shells, going in the water in the wheelchair and building sandcastles."

💙 Why did you want to use a beach wheelchair?
"To join my class friends on the beach."

😊 How did it make you feel?
"Very happy to be able to get onto the beach using the Batman chair."

⭐ What was your favourite part of the day?
"Accessing the beach, using the Batman chair and looking for shells with my class friends."

🌊 Was there anything you were able to do that you couldn't do before?
"Go onto the sand and down to the sea."

❤️ What would you say to another child thinking about using one of our beach wheelchairs?
"I would say to them that I find it really fun and it makes me happy that I can use it on the beach."

Stories like Amelia-Rose's remind us exactly why this service is so important. Everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy the beach, make memories with friends and experience the sea without barriers.

A huge thank you to Amelia-Rose and her family for allowing us to share their story and photograph. We hope it encourages other families to discover what's possible. 🌊💙
