Very few visitors would be aware that there is a children's playground in Hay. It's tucked away behind a high hedge, close to the Doll's House Fun shop on the edge of town. I last went down there with my sister and little nephew, and it did have this sad air of neglect hanging over it, with chipped paintwork on the equipment, and nobody else about.
Well, Emma Smith wants to do something about it, according to the B&R.
She had a little girl, Fay, who died a few years ago of a rare genetic disorder, and she thought then that it was a pity there was nothing at the playground that the little girl and her little boy could go on together. Now she's raising money for a new roundabout which will have space for a wheelchair to fit onto. She's looking for £9,000, and the first step towards that was a Wax-a-thon at Kilvert's last Friday night, supported by local football, cricket and rugby teams. Nat West have promised match funding, and anything left over will be donated to Hope House, a children's hospice in Oswestry.
If anyone would like to help, these are the numbers to contact:
07909 755202 for Emma and
01497 821436 for Cath Prosser.
