Most families take recreational play for granted. For families of children with special needs, this is impossible for some and extremely difficult for most. The aim of Swings and Smiles is to provide a fun and safe facility where children can enjoy play appropriate to their needs and abilities.

Story

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></span> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Most of my social life has been driven by my enjoyment of sport and physical activity, and the lifelong friendships that you make through meeting people with similar interests. My mum will recognise the sentence "I'm going out to play with my friends", almost cut off by the slam of the back door. My wife will say that I still use it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The money that we raise will ensure that a very special group of young people will be able to enjoy the same opportunities that I, and many of you, took for granted.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I'm really looking forward to the trip. It has reminded me of some of the physical challenges that I shared with some of you, too many years ago. I hope that you will match my excitement and enthusiasm with your generosity.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thank you for contributing.</span></span></p> <font face="Times New Roman"> <p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p> </font></span></p>
