Title: Disability Charities in Marple
Post by: smudger on March 21, 2016, 09:12:15 PM
Hi all,
With all that's been in the news over the last week and our own MPs shift from announcing that "one of my personal aims for the new year is to provide further help to members of our community with disabilities." to then voting in favour of cuts to ESA, I've been thinking that it would be a good time to see if there are any local charities involved with helping the disabled that could use some help.

Could anybody recommend a charity that could do with some weekend or evening assistance?

Thanks.

The red cross equipment loan shop on the corner of Derby Street and Derby Way are currently advertising for help. See the advert in the window.
