Cash boost for disabled children

Ipswich-based Out and About helps children access mainstream leisure activities, such as sports and arts.

The £110,000 Children In Need grant will help prevent the exclusion of youngsters who need extra support.

The charity also works with leisure providers to raise awareness of the needs of disabled children.

Chief executive Steve Allman said: "We're working hard to promote the inclusion of disabled children in local leisure activities and this grant will provide many happy hours of fun and friendship for Suffolk's disabled kids."
