This was a most enjoyable meeting enlivened by the consummate professionals Janine and Jodie from Physcap. They explained how the charity was set up by caring parents with its main aim spending all the money it fundraises to help parents attain their aims of helping their children as far as is possible with equipment and aids to help with their disabilities. Money comes into the equation but anything is possible.
