THE Farmoor Reservoir Pontoon Project to help make sailing more accessible for disabled people is seeking a grant of £10,000 from the Vale of White Horse District Council.
The total cost of the project is £200,000. More than £70,000 has been raised.
Organisers hope to raise £100,000 by the autumn so that work on the pontoon can start. It has been designed as a wheelchair-friendly floating jetty that will enable disabled sailors and helpers to access boats in safety.
