I'm doing a 4km sponsored swim on 9th April in aid of Fairplay (www.fair-play.co.uk). My 7-yr old son, Ross, attends their holiday playschemes. This is a brilliant charity full of caring and giving people who make every penny count.

Fairplay supports children and young people with disabilities and additional needs, and their families, across North Derbyshire.

Fairplay offers a wide range of services to meet the needs of the families. We offer support to children and young people, aged 0-25, and to parents and siblings. Fairplay runs play schemes and Saturday clubs for children, youth clubs, activity days, themed groups, and independent living groups for young people, and parent support groups and family trips for parents and siblings.
