Mr Bryce Dinneen, of Tauranga, MNZM, for services to disabled people
Bryce Dinneen, a C4 tetraplegic, established the Wish 4 Fish charitable trust, which provides fishing trips for those with physical and mental disabilities and impairments. The charity provides wheelchair-accessible charter boats in Tauranga, Coromandel and Auckland. To date, the trust has taken more than 350 people on the water. After seven years of fundraising, Mr Dinneen launched a $2.4 million 18-metre custom-made boat, capable of taking 45 people out on the water, including those with disabilities and their carers. The boat has wheelchair access, a full-loop gantry crane to allow toilet access to all, beds, and fishing gear catered to those with limited mobility.
