Daisy Chains IW

Daisy Chains IW was founded by Kellie Lawrence and Mandy Fuller, both of whom have children that have been affected by long term sickness or disability.

After years of Fundraising for their own children they strongly felt there was a need for something to be available on the Isle of Wight to help those parents who are unable to access the equipment and therapies needed to help their children progress.

Below are some articles about their fundraising efforts.
