ONLY the parents of disabled children really understand the demands and complete lifestyle involved in such care.
In this borough, there is a remarkable track-record of parents helping themselves and supporting others which endures today.
Birtenshaw Hall school at Bromley Cross has long been a place of practical care and commitment to improving the prospects and hopes of local children with disabilities.
Parents have worked tirelessly alongside dedicated staff right from its inception 50 years ago, and heartwarming, positive stories of individual achievement are littered through the ensuing years.
The Birtenshaw Hall Children's Charitable Trust is holding a lavish ball to celebrate this anniversary and to underline its existence and, with any luck, its success may kick off another 50 years of caring.
It deserves our support, so if you can offer yours, ring 01204-304230.
