Sir Roden Cutler Charity Wheelchair Roll 2007
Down at the Civic Theatre we met with the people who are actively pursuing the Sir Roden Cutler Charity Wheelchair Roll for 2007.
In today's busy and congested streets with vehicles everywhere, it is easy to forget the many men and women without vehicles, physically restricted in their capacity to access public transport and financially unable to afford taxis or hire cars.
These folk, Australians like the rest of us, are the beneficiaries of Sir Roden Cutler Charities.
It's cars and volunteer drivers are their leg's and the support provided is often fundamental in providing their quality of life- with access to Doctors, Hospitals, shops and business houses in a way which most of us take for granted (The RT Hon Ian Sinclair).
My self and several other Councillors met with the organisers of this important organisation. We were briefed on the information I have identified above by the Hon Ian Sinclair and had the opportunity to test out the capacity of one of the vehicles which assists disabled people to disembark and then embark in a car. Carrying a weight limit of 150kg this device would give disabled people a greater sense of security and independence. The device can be seen above in the picture.
Our Riding For the Disabled champion Reg Golding received a donation from the Sir Roden Cutler Charities for his very worthy and much used organisation. Listening to Reg speak you can hear a real sense of enjoyment when working with the children and support to make sure they feel confident and respected. This is a man I admire for the work he does and his passion for helping disabled people. You're a Champion!
