Ray was asked to present a Variety Club Sunshine Coach to Heathfield Special Needs School in Fareham, Hants on Wednesday, 15th March, 2006 and he was of course, happy to oblige.

This school caters for 110 children ranging in ages from 4 – 11 years. The children have a range of complex needs including autism, cerebral palsy, moderate and severe learning difficulties, emotional and behavioural difficulties. The coach will be used for a variety of activities outside of the school grounds including shopping, visiting the swimming pool, visiting the gymnastic centre and for residential weeks away.

Frances Cornelius, secretary of the Wessex Barkers Variety Club, passed on these wonderful photographs from what seemed to be a special day.
