KIND-hearted parents have raised £220 to help buy a trailer bike for a severely disabled three-year-old boy.

The money was raised at Romanby Primary School during the infant classes' nativity play in December, when parents made donations to Joshua Peacock, from Northallerton, who suffers from a form of cerebral palsy and needs constant care.

The cash was used to buy the £350 trailer bike, which has allowed Josh, his parents and two older brothers, to go out for family bike rides for the first time.

The family's fundraising co-ordinator, Joan Finn said: "Now Josh can go out as a family with his brothers.

"Because those bikes are so expensive, you would never have the money to afford something like that. He loves it when he is out with his family."
