Helsby Golf Club
Helsby Golf Club Powered Wheelchair Appeal.
Each year thousands of children are born with disabilities that severely affect their mobility, causing very real limits on their quality of life. This can be dramatically improved by the use of modern and sophisticated powered wheelchairs, giving the freedom and mobility to gain a degree of independence. Unfortunately, the state does not offer most children the type of chair that they really need, and the cost is often out of the reach of their families.
Helsby Golf Club Powered Wheelchair Appeal exists solely to raise funds for this cause. The club's efforts on this front have been led since 1982 by Bert Dyson - awarded an MBE for his services to children - and are referred to in Peter Alliss's autobiography: "Over the years there has been tremendous support from a number of golf clubs up and down the UK and in Ireland ... but one is very special. It's the Helsby Golf Club in Cheshire."
