Children have been enjoying fun virtual sessions thanks to the hard work of a Mawdesley based charity.
Rainbow Hub, which provides therapeutic services for young people with physical disabilities as a result of a neurological condition or brain injury, is intent on supporting communities throughout lockdown.
Parents have also been encouraged to take part, as Rachel Holland runs 'Fun and Fitness' sessions which allows children to maintain some of the therapies at home.
The Saturday morning sessions are around 30 minutes and involve upper and lower body movements dancing to pop tunes to cater for all.
Rachel Nolan from Ormskirk said, “my daughter Amelia absolutely loved it.”
Joanne Ashcroft, Head of Conductive Education services, for the charity in Mawdesley, Lancashire said: “The past ten months have had a huge impact on the children who use our services which isn’t good for their physical or mental health.
"We are doing all we can support them and their families through this difficult time and are delighted with the response to our virtual services.
"The children have been amazing and work so hard."
The charity is also continuing with their virtual communication group which was started last year.
