Semaphore SLSC’s Accessible Beaches Program creating Accessibility for all

In the past couple of weeks, Semaphore SLSC’s Accessible Beaches program has improved the lives of three members of our community, Gene Chan, Addy Murray and Eric Cooper.

Gene Chan recently moved to the Semaphore area and has been able to gain access to the beach due to the facilities available through the club. Having a rare skin condition that is soothed by the salty sea, Gene hasn’t been to the beach or in the water for more than 10 years due to the loss of his right leg. Keep an eye out for Gene who said he is likely to be a regular on the beach after finding out about the club’s Accessibility Program.

Young Addy Murray and her family were relaxing at beachside Noonies Café, when they were asked by Patrol member and Inclusion Officer Kate Newman if they would like to be taken down to the beach. As Addy hadn’t been able to access the beach for 2 years, the family jumped at the chance to use the beach access matting provided by Port Adelaide Enfield Council!  Her family said that “We believe there should be more of these devices available in more locations as it is not always accessible for people or families with special needs.  It made our adventure to the beach much more enjoyable as we were able to go onto the beach and into the water, not stay on the designated footpath and watch from afar.”

Eric Cooper’s granddaughter Jessie was trying to find a way to have her Grandfather comfortably access the beach for his grandson’s ocean Baptism. After losing the use of his legs two years ago due to heart surgery complications, beach trips were off the table. Following a call to Semaphore SLSC, the club was able to support Eric to join his wife and family for his grandson’s very special occasion, the first time in two years Eric would be able to access the beach.

Community stories such as these are heartwarming. Semaphore SLSC is currently working with Charles Sturt Council to have a Beach ramp installed at Point Malcolm Reserve, replacing the current steps at the end of the boardwalk that restrict so many from gaining access.  This opens up the possibility of having beach matting the Club has purchased permanently available at the end of the ramp, hopefully allowing greater access for all.

Save the date: Senior Club Champs!

The Senior Club Champs will be held on Wednesday 8th February at 4:45 followed by a team BBQ.

Families, spectators & volunteers are more than welcome!
