Cat Smith Working for Lancaster and Wyre
I was privileged to nominate Fleetwood Beach Wheelchairs for a King’s Award for Voluntary Service last year, and I’m delighted they’ve been awarded this honour.
Although the boundary changes at the election mean Fleetwood is no longer in my constituency area, I know that my friend and colleague Lorraine Beavers MP is a proud champion for the town, along with being a trustee of the organisation.
The volunteers do an incredible job of making our beaches and seas accessible for those with additional mobility needs, allowing them to dip their toe in the water and take part in a quintessential part of British life. I’d like to say a huge thank you and well done to all of the dedicated team on their thoroughly deserved award!
