Truro Care Home Resident Pursues Passion For Sailing

Joe Wright, a 28-year-old resident of High View in Truro, part of Salutem Care and Education, is making waves with his newfound love of sailing.

High View, which supports individuals with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and sensory needs, has been Joe’s home since September 2022.

Joe has been attending Mylor Sailing School, where he embarks on power boat adventures alongside his support staff. Recently accompanying him is 45-year-old Aren Bonich, who also lives at High View, who has been inspired by Joe’s enthusiasm to join the sailing sessions.

Since Joe began sailing last year, it has become a valuable weekly activity. Joe’s enthusiasm for ‘driving’ the boat is evident when he returns to High View, proudly declaring, “Drive the boat,” with a big thumbs up and a beaming smile.

Roxy Durran, registered manager at High View, said:
“It’s been wonderful to see Joe’s excitement and joy for sailing. His positive attitude and enthusiasm are truly inspiring. We’re delighted to support him in pursuing this passion.

“The team at High View is committed to providing opportunities for the individuals they support to explore new interests and engage in fulfilling activities.
