A donation helped a woman
suffering cerebral palsy find her voice again when it bought a special speech
machine.
A £3,450 cheque went to the

independent lives. It used the cash for a 53-year-old woman from Swaythling
whose condition makes it hard to communicate.
Young and old fighting fit at martial arts club
Health, confidence and
discipline are the benefits from Southampton Jitsu Club which trains adults and
youngsters as young as nine.
A donation of £2,640 has
bought 22 new judo mats to replace the old and worn ones at the club's base in

A grant of £1,500 helped to
cheer up young patients at Southampton General Hospital with a troop of fun
performers called the Giggle Doctors.

youngsters and help them get through the stress of treatment with laughs, fun
and magic tricks.
