Charlie has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and his parents Natalie and Simon are now raising £9,000 to buy the adapted bike and a state-of-the-art Neater Eater system.

Natalie said: “Both products will enable him to integrate into family life more, joining his brothers at the table for meals and participating in family bike rides.”

Ross Jarvie, association chairman, right, said: “It is our pleasure to help people in our community and support this family.”
