Wheelchairs on Ice! Party of the Year.

It was an unusal reversal of roles with normally more mobile members undertaking the challenge of staying upright, whilst those in chairs moved at speed.

Thankfully there were no lasting injuries, although a loss of balance from more than one skater caused a few bruises and much laughter, particularly between wheelchair user Jared and his twin George.

A generous amount of funding from Capital Radio's charity ensured the party continued at a nearby church hall, where a disco and some professional face-painting meant there was something for everyone.

The party was exclusive to members of Parents in Touch, an organisation formed by a group of parents and carers wishing to support each other through the challenges of having a child with disability.

"Our normal focus is to help members access things like appropriate education or social care, so it's a welcome change to organise something with such a big fun factor," said PiT Secretary Karen Adams.

"I can't recall when we as a family received an invite to a big party. Events like this are really few and far between," she added.

Parents in Touch hope to change this by making the party an annual occassion, in response to consultation with their members earlier in the year.
