There is a story in the New Statesman about exclusion of disabled children from grottos and christmas activities here, it is unbelievable that in 2017 these places don't have to be accessible!0

that’s really sad. I must admit it’s not something we have an issue with - every Grotto we have visited have been wonderful.
People seem a lot more accommodating now she has a wheelchair that doesn’t look like a buggy. I find it fascinating how differently we are both treated on the odd day when we use the NHS buggy, I can see people hoiking up their judgy pants in disgust at a 4 year old in a trolley1
