Adele Flint, communications manager at The Falcon Board said, "The Falcon Board is said to be ‘the' gadget of 2015 but with a price-tag of £249+ we know that it is an extravagance for most, and that some will not be able to afford one in their Santa sack this year. We chose to donate our boards to Let Us Play as we wanted them to be enjoyed by lots of children. It is a privilege for us to be able give back to the community and the unsung heroes who help others every day at Let Us Play".
 
 

The charity, run by Kim Hatton and Claire McKen supports hundreds of children and their families from across Wolverhampton and the surrounding areas, ensuring that no matter what problems they face every day, there is a smiling face waiting to greet them and help them to play and integrate with other children in similar situations. The charity, Let Us Play, said, "Our service is a vital lifeline for a lot of parents who have disabled and special needs children. Our community of parents help to support one another and it's a humbling experience to do what we do. The children we work with throughout the year are just magic and thanks to donations from companies like The Falcon Board we hope to continue to bring joy to their lives for many more years to come".
