Seaside holidays for disabled children under threat

[annie]

PRECIOUS family holidays by the seaside for disabled children are under threat because of a lack of council cash.

Over four years more than 100 youngsters have enjoyed special caravan breaks in Blackpool with their parents and able-bodied brothers and sisters thanks to a one-off government grant.

Now the Whitehall cash is ending and Blackburn with Darwen council is struggling to find money to keep renting the specially-adapted static holiday home

I hope they get the money from somewhere else.

So cruel they deprive disabled children of a holiday.

We have been spoilt for many years and then when they make changes it seems so unfair, especially when people look forward to these breaks maybe every year.
I cant see why they cant make a special tax on the rich earning over so much a year and take just a small amount from each person to help the disabled.

Would they like it if they had been born disabled?

I hope they find funding. Such a brilliant scheme to lose
