LANDEEZ ALL-TERRAIN WHEELCHAIRS NOW AVAILABLE TO HIRE 
 
 Now children and young people who use wheelchairs can also enjoy a day at the beach, park, going where no conventional wheelchair has gone before, with the innovative Landeez all-terrain wheelchair.
The Landeez is a revolutionary wheelchair designed especially for outdoor use. It was developed specifically to enable people with disabilities to come in to closer contact with nature.
Thanks to the marine-grade stainless steel frame, tough anti-absorbent seating, and all-terrain wheel these chairs are great for ‘off-tarmac’ activities.
Through funding from Aiming High for Disabled Children, the Isle of Wight Council is delighted to make these wheelchairs available for use to aid inclusion on schools trips and group outings. They can also be hired on an individual basis, for a morning or an afternoon free of charge, with refundable deposit.
As you can see below, these chairs have been on a test run at Sandown/Yaverland beach.
There are three wheelchairs available to hire out and these are situated at the following sites:
  • Dinosaur Isle – contact Trevor Price on (01983) 404344
  • Beaulieu House – contact Kelly Lockwood (01983) 533024
  • St George’s School – contact the school on (01983) 524634
