Support Wetwheels Yorkshire
Campaign by Wetwheels Foundation (RCN 1148600 (England & Wales), SC051304 (Scotland))
As Wetwheels Yorkshire enters her eighth season delivering safe, stimulating and fun adventures to the disabled people of the North East Coast we could never have imagined how busy we have been.

Story

The Wetwheels experience is designed to enable every disabled person the chance to experience the excitement of power boating. Wetwheels boats are truly unique by being fully accessible - not just giving you the chance to be a passenger, but also to take the helm as the skipper - everybody gets the chance to drive!

As a family we have been involved with Wetwheels Yorkshire since trips were initiated out of Whitby in 2018. Having taken Adam on a Wetwheels Solent trip off the Isle of Wight, a trip we all thoroughly enjoyed, we were delighted to hear Wetwheels were setting up in Yorkshire, meaning we could continue to take Adam out to sea. Now some 8 years later Adam is still involved with Wetwheels as a member of the volunteer crew, still loving his time at sea and sharing that love and enthusiasm with trip participants. As a family we have a lot to thank Wetwheels Yorkshire for but it is what they do to make trips fully accessible that we want to support.
