Sporting success for FFSC young girl with special needs Sunday, 14 August, 2011 19:50

Ainsley Jackson a Penketh pupil at Green Lane Special School has attained her Sailability Bronze Award using a boat bought with a grant from Warrington Inclusion Matters. Ainsley went for a sail in an Access Dinghy and was enthralled that when the opportunity of a grant towards buying a dinghy arose which would allow her to sail on a regular basis she jumped at the chance.
Ainsley sails with Schools and Youth Sailing and Canoeing Association Sailability at Budworth. Aiming High helped buy them three more boats for young people with Special Needs which are available for school, youth group or individual use.
