Woman's Hour -Jus Kidz
Cathy Manley's fourth child, Christopher, was born with cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus which made it very difficult for him to have a social life. She couldn't find any facilities in Knowsley where she lived, so three years ago she started a Saturday club called Jus Kidz. It not only welcomes children with a disability, but their brothers, sisters and parents as well. Judy Merry went to meet Cathy and some of the clubs enthusiastic users.
A clip from this morning's Woman's Hour. Knowsley has wonderful, strong, dedicated, visionary women like these and we end up with women like Jaqcui Smith, Patricia Hewitt and Harriet Harman. Sheesh!
