**new kit alert**
Heartfelt thanks to Alistair from Drookit, Fish to Fry and Portobello Community Choir for the amazing amount raised by last year's musical fundraiser which made it possible for us to add to our fleet. We decided to take the plunge and purchase this fab looking beach walker. This is available from us at Beach Wheelchairs Portobello to provide extra to support to anyone that might need it whilst walking on the beach. This time of year all our kit is available for hire by pre-booking with us via 0300 666 0990 or you can DM us or email [email protected]
Hires are always FREE!

We've been enjoying singing indoors again and are beginning to delve into some wild and warming midwinter songs. We have space for a few more singers if you know anyone who might like to join us?
