YOUNG people who rely on wheelchairs every day can now enjoy activities they may not have had access to, thanks to new, all-terrain wheelchairs.
Under the Aiming High for Disabled Children scheme, the Isle of Wight Council has bought three new Landeez wheelchairs, which will be made available for use by children and young people with disabilities.
The Landeez chairs are all-terrain, meaning they can access areas conventional wheelchairs may not, such as beaches or forests.
The wheelchairs will be available for school trips and group outings and can be hired for a nominal fee.
