Our thanks to Balshaw’s Church of England High School for their recent generous fundraising venture for Team William.

Pupils and staff at the school carried out a Lollipop Sale, raising £55.85 towards the £40,000 required to build an extension on William’s family bungalow to accommodate his needs as he grows up. The project will provide four year old William with a dedicated wheelchair accessible bedroom and wetroom, together with a ceiling mounted hoist so William can be moved safely and comfortably.

This new space, adjoining the main living area of the home, will enable William to easily be included in all aspects of family life; whilst access for his wheelchair throughout his home and to outside will allow William to use areas which are currently impossible for him to get to.

Thank you to everyone involved for funding these vital adaptations so William can enjoy his family home and live there safely and with dignity.
