A NEW charity helping<br />
disabled people to sail is<br />
hoping to be fully operational<br />
by spring.<br />
The SailAbility Canterbury<br />
Charitable Trust held a sailing<br />
fundraiser, which served as a<br />
test drive for their proposed<br />
service in Lyttelton.<br />
“We want to support as<br />
many people as possible to get<br />
into sailing,” said trustee Ben<br />
Acland.<br />
“We know currently there<br />
is no way to get people with<br />
physical disabilities, like<br />
paraplegics, into the boats.”<br />
In the future, the trust<br />
wants to work with the city<br />
council to make wharfs in<br />
Lyttelton more wheelchair<br />
accessible.<br />
The future sailing<br />
programme would involve<br />
volunteers of varying<br />
experience who would assist<br />
and teach interested disabled<br />
people to sail small boats.<br />
Acland anticipated the<br />
trust will cater for different<br />
programmes to people’s<br />
varying disabilities.<br />
It will be run out of the<br />
Naval Point Club.<br />
Volunteers hosted five<br />
wheelchair users in an assisted<br />
sailing event and held a raffle<br />
HOPEFUL: Five wheelchair users were the first to experience SailAbility’s services<br />
during a fundraiser at the Naval Point Club.<br />
to raise funds for the start of<br />
the programme.<br />
SailAbility Wellington<br />
has loaned the trust two<br />
Hansa 303 single or two-crew<br />
sailing keelboats to help get<br />
the programme started in<br />
Lyttelton. The trust is looking<br />
to purchase its own vessels<br />
after enough fundraising.<br />
Acland looks to<br />
Wellington’s SailAbility as<br />
the model to replicate as it has<br />
nearly 400 users of the service<br />
a week. “I hope we’ll have a<br />
range of people from kids<br />
just having their first sail to<br />
people who might actually<br />
take up the sport of sailing<br />
and enter regattas that we<br />
organise.”<br />
Collectors<br />
Required for<br />
the RSA Poppy<br />
Appeal <strong>2024</strong><br />
Every day the RSA supports veterans throughout New Zealand, and the<br />
demand for our services has never been higher.<br />
Since 1990 New Zealand has created over 30,000 veterans under the age of<br />
50, and there are around 140,000 living veterans across New Zealand. The total<br />
number of those eligible for our support is much higher as the RSA provides<br />
support to all current and former serving members of New Zealand’s Armed<br />
Forces and their families.<br />
We require COLLECTORS for our poppy sites on this side of Christchurch City<br />
on Friday 19 April and Saturday 20 April <strong>2024</strong>. Please email us at admin@<br />
templetonrsa.org.nz or call us on (03) 349 4701 if you can assist and are<br />
willing to spend two hours on either or both days at one of our Manned Sites.<br />
