Presentation of cheque for £503 pounds to The Mayor of Gosport Cllr Roger Allan for the Mayor’s chosen Charity ‘Toe in the Water’ by Haslar Heritage Group and Our Enterprise Haslar Ltd. The money was raised from a collection during the inaugural Evensong at St Luke’s Haslar led by the Reverend Ted Goodyer on the 17th October 2010. Other services are planned for the future with St Luke’s playing a community role in support of Haslar and local Churches.
TOE IN THE WATER (TITW) aims to inspire the men and women who have sustained often traumatic injuries, including the loss of limbs, to move beyond their disability and to become re-inspired by life.
Competitive sailing is a physically and mentally challenging adventurous sport and provides a unique opportunity for injured men and women to sail and race on equal terms with their able bodied contemporaries.
