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!

:'( 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 trolley
