Have you heard of the Wetwheels Foundation? They’re a registered charity that offers a unique opportunity for disabled and disadvantaged people of all ages - including those with multiple, profound and complex impairments - to access the water.
Their vision is to ensure everyone can access the water with a safe, barrier-free, enriching experience.
Many of the people we support are limited in the experiences they can enjoy, so when we stumbled upon this amazing charity, we thought it was too good not to share, especially as we head into holiday season!
The WetWheels experiences for disabled people are provided by a growing network of WetWheels Operators based around the UK from as high up as Edinburgh, right down to Falmouth and across the waters to Jersey and Guernsey. You can explore the White Cliffs of Dover, cruise around the coastline of south Jersey, explore the bay in Torbay, and even take to the helm around Falmouth Bay with the Captains Classic experience.
They are committed to safety and quality and are regulated as subject matter experts on taking disabled people to sea in small boats. All WetWheels skippers are fully trained and commercially endorsed, and their volunteer crew receive our bespoke disability awareness in a maritime context training.
Do you know of a great experience our service users could enjoy? Please share them with us in the comments, so we can support these wonderful places and spaces that offer those living with complex needs opportunities to experience different activities.

We’re dedicated to providing exceptional person-centred care and ensuring that all our care professionals are both confident and competent in providing the specialist care that each of our service users require.
Just last week our Clinical Nurse Specialist was undertaking a competency assessment with one of our new care professionals. During the process, our young service user, Dylan, was able to answer all the questions relating to his care and how each element should be completed, including how his equipment works, with absolute precision.
Dylan did so well that we awarded him with his very own Apollo Home Healthcare certificate, pin badge and his favourite snack to celebrate him passing with flying colours!
Well done to our superstar, Dylan!

On Thursday, the last day of term before the summer holidays, the school was buzzing with joy and celebrations and our young client, FS and his classmates got to nominate each other for a special award.
Guess who won? Our fantastic Apollo Home Healthcare carers! The class cheered on these superheroes for their constant support and awarded them an Everything, Always Award, for always helping out in class.
Our amazing team works closely with our delightful FS, helping him with his daily care needs and adventures, and even tagging along to support him at school.
They were over the moon to receive this very special award and feel privileged to be by FS's side, making his school days extra special.
A big, heartfelt thank you for the award FS and friends!
