A charity fireworks cruise is set to light up the skies in support of people with disabilities.

Dorset-based charity Diverse Abilities is hosting the event on Thursday, August 27, aboard the Fortuna with Coastal Cruises.

The evening, which sets sail from Poole Quay, aims to raise funds for children and adults with profound physical and learning disabilities across Dorset.

Samantha Sayer, events executive at Diverse Abilities, said: "Our Fireworks Cruise is a fantastic way to bring our community together for a truly memorable evening while raising vital funds for people with disabilities across Dorset.

"Whether you're joining friends, family or colleagues, it's a wonderful opportunity to enjoy Poole Harbour, take in the fireworks and make a real difference."

Guests will be welcomed with a glass of Prosecco and can purchase drinks from the onboard bar.

There will also be a raffle for the chance to win an epic hamper.

Tickets cost £27.50 for adults and £20 for children, with an optional donation to further support the charity’s services.

A chip supper can also be purchased when booking.

Founded in 1955, Diverse Abilities is the only charity that supports children and adults with profound physical and learning disabilities, and their families, in Dorset.
