Moors Manor Care Home in St Leonards, which is run by Barchester Healthcare, presented the cheque to Ellingham Inclusive Water Ski and Wakeboard club. The money will be used to buy an adapted seating ski, which will allow people with disabilities to enjoy water skiing. The grant had been awarded by Barchester’s Charitable Foundation, a charity that helps older people and adults with a disability or mental health problems across England, Scotland and Wales by offering grants to help people connect or reconnect with others in their community.
Gemma Chalkley, general manager at Moors Manor Care Home, said: "We are always keen to show as much support as we can to local charities. "This charity is very close to the home and to be able to help fund equipment which enables more people to enjoy this activity is wonderful. "We are now going to see which residents at the home would like to enjoy this activity.
" The care home staff went to the club to present the cheque and see the adapted ski. Adrian Yates, a volunteer at the club, said: "With having this adapted ski we are now able to offer the opportunity to waterski for those individuals with a disability.".
