Lynne Featherstone will also be supporting a parliamentary motion which is backing the campaign.

Lynne Featherstone said: "I am delighted to support the "Keeping up with Childhood" campaign and ensure that here in Hornsey and Wood Green disabled children have the right to the mobility equipment that gives them freedom and the chance to keep up with childhood."

There are over 70,000 children in the UK, and therefore over 100 here in Hornsey and Wood Green for whom the provision of the right wheelchair could make a massive difference, giving them freedom to fully enjoy their childhood.
