Whitby Gala Dinner a fitting end to a successful season for Wetwheels Yorkshire
The event aims to raise funds for the charity and is billed on the Wet Wheels Yorkshire website as: “an evening of superb food, an amazing charity auction and special guests.”
Wetwheels Yorkshire chair, Peter Richardson, said the evening at Andrew Pern’s celebrated restaurant, promises to be: “something a little different to turkey and all the trimmings.”

Geoff’s inspiring story will give the background to the Wetwheels mission to enable people with a whole range of disabilities, including those of a profound and complex nature, to access the sea.
Since Wetwheels Yorkshire launched in August, 2018, they have taken over 2,500 people onto the water including families from children's hospices across the North East and almost 50 other local disability organisations.
Last year the organisation raised enough money to finance trips by Springhead School, Scarborough and a number of local families also benefited from funded outings.
