Accessible Beaches 

We are helping to make beaches more inclusive and accessible to everyone. Every weekend of the summer patrol season, accessible beach mats and beach-friendly wheelchairs will be available at participating surf clubs, designed to assist people in reaching the water’s edge. Beach matting and beach wheelchairs are provided through the City of Gold Coast Beach Access Program. 

VGC is seeking donations to continue the program. For the past three years, Volunteering Gold Coast’s Accessible Beaches team of dedicated volunteers set up mats and wheelchairs each week during the summer patrolled season, making sure that everyone has a chance to enjoy the beach.

Sadly, this program is no longer funded and we cannot continue our work without your help. Please consider making a donation so that people with disabilities and their families can continue to go out together as a family and be included in the main Gold Coast activity–going to the beach.

DONATE TODAY and help us to make our beaches inclusive next summer!
