ARE you looking for some fun in an outdoor and relaxed picturesque environment, amongst an array of wildlife around the calmness of water, in our very own backyard right here in Shepparton? Shepparton Sailability are calling for volunteers to help their not-for-profit, self-funded community service, on the beautiful Victoria Park Lake.
Shepparton Sailability was established in 2012 and is aimed at providing people of all abilities the opportunity to learn to sail in an inexpensive, fun, and safe manner in the revolutionary Access yachts.
Shepparton’s Roy Hill started ‘Sailability’ ten years ago after retiring. He wanted to give back to the community, and in particular the elderly and people with disabilities, by showing them a way to feel free, and gain confidence on the water.
“I enjoy helping people, and the sailing experience for some can be magical. Everyone deserves some joy in their life. We judge their experiences by the smiles on their faces, and we get a lot of that,”
“If anyone would like to have a go at volunteering then please give me call on 0438 570 549. You don’t have to be a sailor or even go in the water if you don’t want to. We operate Tuesdays and Thursdays in the summer months and the experience as a volunteer is as magical as the reason, we do it,” said Shepparton Sailability president, Roy.
