Experience has shown that one of the big problems for parents with a special needs child is transport.

From the earliest age, it is necessary for all children to travel. Initially, to a clinic, perhaps, followed later by a nursery, and then to a school. This can be quite a trial for parents of children without special needs, but if a wheelchair, for example, is involved then the problems of transport are more difficult.    

The Castle Toy Library is run on a 'Toys to Children' basis, rather than the other way round.

In the evenings, the children are visited by volunteers 
in our well-stocked van. During the day, pre-school children can receive a visit from our Special Needs Play Advisor.
