MUM Margaret Mallett is appealing for people to support a fundraising event to help send young people with learning difficulties to EuroDisney.

Her daughter Amy, 18, is a student on Chippenham College's Skills For Living course.

This helps to teach youngsters basic skills to gain independence and look after themselves.

Every year the college sends the group, aged between 16 and 20 on a residential course where they are encouraged to do everything independently using their new skills.

"This year we wanted to do something extra special and we would love to be able to send them to EuroDisney," said Mrs Mallett, 53, of Parliament Street, Chippenham.

A fundraising dance is being held at Bromham Social Centre on November 4.

Tickets cost £4.50 and are available from Mrs Mallett on (01249) 659332.
