LTFUC DONATE SPECIAL BOAT<br />
FOR AHOY CENTRE<br />
The London Taxidrivers' Fund for Underprivileged<br />
Children held the official launch of a specially<br />
equipped boat for disabled young people that<br />
the Fund have donated to the Adventure<br />
Help and Opportunities for Youth (Ahoy)<br />
centre on Wednesday 12th April. The cost to<br />
the Fund was in excess of £11,000.<br />
Ahoy had originally made a grant application<br />
to the LTFUC for £1,282 in order that they could<br />
purchase some specific equipment for disabled<br />
people to use in their crafts on the River Thames. The<br />
equipment enables people with even the most severe physical<br />
disabilities to sail.<br />
Ray Levy, the LTFUC press officer told <strong>Call</strong> <strong>Sign</strong> that they were very<br />
impressed with what they found out about Ahoy and decided to fund the<br />
cost of a new complete and specially equipped boat.<br />
“We are pleased to say that our official logo is on the mast of the<br />
boat,” said Ray.<br />
The Fund’s Hon Chairman David Lessman (D19) and several committee<br />
members attended the launch. Mandy Corcoran, Development Manager at<br />
the Centre thanked the Fund, saying how much pleasure the boat would<br />
give the children. Also in attendance was Councillor Pauline Morrison, Chair<br />
of Social Inclusion Select Committee of Lewisham Council, who praised the<br />
work the Fund does.<br />
The main aim of Ahoy is to ensure that the centre is open to everyone and<br />
in particular focuses on the young, disadvantaged and those with disabilities.<br />
They particularly try to include disadvantaged young and disabled people in<br />
their programmes. Learning how to sail and becoming part of a club can<br />
help build self-esteem and confidence in those young people that are at risk.<br />
As usual, the charity makes us all proud to be cab drivers…<br />
