A POWERED wheelchair appeal at Helsby Golf Club has presented its 277th wheelchair following a charity day which raised £800.

Following a Merseyside Entertainers Golf Association charity day nine-year-old Chesnutlodge school student Harry Graham, of Widnes, was presented with a powered wheelchair with his family.

Golf club spokeswoman Kathryn Hoather said: “It was another great success for Helsby Golf Club Powered Wheelchair Appeal.

“The weather was superb, golf enjoyable and the evening entertainment excellent.”

“Also at the presentation was Harry’s PE teacher Mark Eccleston who won a silver medal for tennis at the Athens Paralympics in 2004.”
