Launch of Beach Accessible Wheelchairs in New Brighton

Launch of Beach Accessible Wheelchairs in New Brighton - 28 November 1-3pm

Since June this year, S.U.R.F. Community Trust and SmileDial have been working in partnership to bring beach accessible wheelchairs to New Brighton beach. Thanks to CCC, the good people of New Brighton (via S.U.R.F. 28 day fundraising), MoreFM, Cashmere High School and Eagle Consumables, we are very excited to announce this project is ready to hit the beach! This is the first of its kind around New Zealand and we're all looking forward to sharing these chairs with Christchurch.

As of 28 November, these wheelchairs (one adult and one child’s beach accessible wheelchairs) will be permanently based in New Brighton and ready for booking at no cost!

We would love you to join us on 28 November between 1-3pm to celebrate the launch of this project and to take the chairs for a spin! It’s a great opportunity to come and meet the crew behind this – both from S.U.R.F. and SmileDial - and see the chairs in action. Attached is a map of where to find us.

There will be light refreshments available.

Please RSVP to info@smiledial.co.nz

Kind regards

S.U.R.F. Community Trust & SmileDial
