Third Sector Awards 2024

We are delighted to report that Wetwheels Hamble has been named a finalist in two prestigious categories at the Third Sector Awards 2024. The organisation is in the running for both "Small Charity of the Year" and "Volunteer Team of the Year."

These nominations come as a recognition of Wetwheels Hamble’s outstanding commitment to providing accessible boating opportunities to people of all ages and abilities. By enabling individuals with physical and sensory disabilities to experience the thrill of being on the water, Wetwheels Hamble has been a beacon of inclusivity and innovation within the community.

The "Small Charity of the Year" nomination highlights Wetwheels Hamble's exceptional impact, efficient operations, and dedicated service to its beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the "Volunteer Team of the Year" category recognises the remarkable efforts of the volunteers whose passion, dedication, and hard work have been instrumental in driving the charity's mission forward.

As Chair of Wetwheels Hamble, I wanted to express my gratitude and pride regarding the nominations. We are incredibly honoured to be finalists in these two significant categories at the Third Sector Awards. #Wetwheelshamble

Our dedicated team of volunteers and supporters are the heartbeat of Wetwheels Hamble, and this recognition is a testament to their unwavering commitment and hard work. We believe in the transformative power of accessible boating, and it’s wonderful to see our efforts acknowledged on such a prestigious platform. This is not just a celebration for us, but for everyone who believes in and supports our mission."

Our nomination in these categories underscores the charity’s impactful work and the extraordinary contributions of its volunteers, who go above and beyond to ensure that boating is accessible to all, regardless of their abilities.

The winners of the Third Sector Awards will be announced at the official ceremony in London in September this year. I eagerly anticipate the event and look forward to celebrating the achievements of all the finalists who make such a positive difference in the world. ThirdSectorAwards.
