Thomas Thomas is 11 and has cerebral palsy. He cannot walk unaided and uses a wheelchair. In 2011, we awarded a Stepping Stones grant to Motability, a charity which helps disabled young people like Thomas to become more independent. ‘Now that we have a car that takes Thomas’s electric wheelchair, I don’t know how we ever coped without one,’ Thomas’s mother explains. ‘Our car and adaptations have had the biggest positive impact on our ability to live our lives more easily than any kind of help we have had before.’ Your generosity through the 2018 Festival Appeal will allow us to support many more children like Thomas. 7
