Writers Help Local Boy

Members of the Borders Writers Forum recently donated proceeds from a book sale to contribute to an appeal to help buy Kelso boy George a stairlift and specialist bathroom – vital modifications without which he cannot return home from hospital. He also needs a new wheelchair which would allow him to gain back a small part of his much needed independence.

BWF writers raised over £500 for the Get George Moving appeal. There is still another £8000 to be raised to enable George to return home and have a full life.

George suffers from a number of chronic, incurable and life limiting conditions for which he has been receiving treatment since 2014 and his family really want to bring him home.
