If you know of anyone in a wheelchair that fancies a swing or a seesaw, or even a jump on a trampoline, then take a look at http://www.theplaypark.co.uk/ It is the brainchild of my good friend Miriam Guard, who herself has an autistic child Henry.
Miriam has battled through acres of red tape and difficulties and raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to build an all abilities playpark in Exeter which was opened last year. Handicapped kids have a whale of a time there where they can get involved with some very clever playground equipment all for free.

I built the website for Miriam last year as my small contribution to all the hard work that she undertakes and I nip into the playpark now and again to take fresh pictures for the site. On Sunday we took Nancy our 2 year old grand-daughter for a treat. She loves the trampoline and the sandpit. Not to mention the slides, and the swings...and ....
Miriam came here today to make changes on the website with me and we were able to to add a super photo of Maddie from Exmouth and her pal Ben from North Devon, both in wheelchairs - who meet up midway for a play at the playpark, being pushed around on the purpose built roundabout.
