AN OSWESTRY-based charity dedicated to supporting children and their families living with movement difficulties has received a big donation from the Morrisons Foundation.

The Movement Centre received a donation of £9,080, enabling the Oswestry-based charity to buy specialised standing frames, a vital piece of equipment that every child who starts a course of ‘Targeted Training’ physiotherapy requires.

Curtis Langley, Fundraising and Marketing Officer at The Movement Centre, said: “The generous funding from the Morrisons Foundation will directly impact the families attending our centre, where we now offer fully funded physiotherapy to all children who could benefit from our intervention.

“We have worked with Morrisons for a number of years, and always enjoy working with the lovely community champions at the local Oswestry store.
