A CHILDREN'S charity is urgently calling on the parents of disabled children in Wiltshire to come forward after being donated life changing equipment.

Caudwell Children, who provide practical and emotional support to disabled children and their families, has received funding to supply five life enhancing therapy tricycles for disabled children in the county.

It is now appealing for families to come forward and apply for the equipment.

The tricycles - costing between £800 and £1,500 - are individually designed to meet the needs of each disabled child and help provide physiotherapy, build muscle tone and promote play.

The charity wants to hear from families of disabled children in Wiltshire and is asking them to come forward and claim the equipment.

Trudi Beswick, chief executive of Caudwell Children, said: "We donate hundreds of life changing therapy tricycles to disabled children throughout the UK each year, but we currently have no applicants in county.

"As well as providing regular exercise and physical therapy, the tricycles give children a renewed sense of inclusion which improves self-esteem and confidence.

"We are desperate to hear from anyone caring for a disabled child who will be able to benefit from the tricycles."
