CoastAbility is on the lookout for more volunteers to help support local young people with physical disabilities aged up to 25 to thrive in all aspects of life.
The charity, run solely by volunteers, has delivered 90 years of improving young lives through sport and academic scholarships, accessible school bus programs, and financial assistance for unmet disability related needs.
Director Chris Garratt said she is thinking to the future and is calling for more members of the community to get involved.
“We are eager to ensure the work of CoastAbility continues,” ehs adi.
“Succession planning is a concern.
“We are keen to find people with an interest in making a difference to the lives of our clients.
“We are actively seeking interest from the community to grow our committee membership, and ultimately attract potential board members.”
Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch, has been an Ambassador for CoastAbility since 2012, and continues to advocate to improve the lives of people who live with a disability.
“CoastAbility is an incredible non-profit organisation for the Central Coast,” she said.
“I am eager to see the great work that CoastAbility is doing continues.
“Last year, our very own star athlete Dylan Littlehales was able to compete in the Tokyo Paralympics because of the support provided by CoastAbility.
“This is only one example of the commitment the charity has to serving our community and its young people.”
Tesch is encouraging anyone with an interest to reach out to CoastAbility for more information.
“Over the years I have had the pleasure of supporting and encouraging the work of the Board and Committee Members,” she said.
“To those interested, do not hesitate to enquire today.”
