A woman's wish to be able to visit her local beach has become a reality thanks to the "overwhelming" generosity of strangers.
Daisy Gerritsen has down syndrome and, as a wheelchair user, was often unable to access her local beach in New Brighton. Daisy's mum, Jen, took to social media where she launched an appeal for help in the Wirral Support During Coronavirus (WSDC) group.
Members responded by donating the cash required to buy a Sand Cruiser chair, which has now been added to the fleet of specialist beach wheelchairs launched by Wirral Council last month. There are now seven of the wheelchairs in total, based at New Brighton's Floral Pavilion and the Wirral Watersports Centre in West Kirby.
