Hi our names are Terri and Nicky and we fundraising for our son/grandson. He is 8yrs old and has severe and profound disabilities, with a very short expected life span. He has cerebral palsy, severe epilepsy, scoliosis, blind and hearing impaired, but is also the most beautiful boy with the most amazing smile who loves his cuddles.

After a long battle with the local authority we have managed to build an accessible bedroom and bathroom, but the one thing missing is a bath. The local authority are unable to fund this.

Currently he has one shower a week in school as without a bath we are unable to use his specialist bathroom. This isn't enough. He needs regular washing for obvious health reasons, but also for enjoyment. He has very limited senses and is unable to enjoy many of the things other children can. One of the few pleasures he has is floating in water, which provides much needed muscle relief as well as sensory stimulation.

This bath will change his life. It not only allows him to be bathed with dignity but the bubble jets provide stimulation. It is height adjustable and has an inbuilt changing station meaning less painful transfers and easier work for his carers.
