was wondering if anyone had heard of organaisations ,trusts or charitys where they supply the manpower and i will supply the materials to lend a hand in making a garden accessible for an 8 year old wheelchair bound. we are looking for a conservatory base to be built which we will pay for so that we can put exercise equipment in IE like turn it into a multi gym to help her improve her muscles. we are based in Scotland and are even open to builders to come and give us a quote to help us out

you could get in touch with the princes trust ( http://www.princes-trust.org.uk/ ), you just fill a form in and the volunteers vote on which project they'd like to do. also millennium volunteers is worth a go ( http://www.mvscotland.org.uk/). there would also be the possiblity of getting probation services involved. hope you find someone x

I remember many years ago when I was at school ( 25 years to be exact arrrrgh!!!!) There was a little boy that needed physio and he too was in a wheel chair, our school raised enough money and a mobile home was set up in his garden, we all took turns in going and helping with his therapy, it was very rewarding.

Contact your local Volunteer Centre http://www.volunteerscotland.org.uk/default.aspx?popupValue=yes
and ask if they can find you a group of volunteers or a local charity to help you. They will have a database of lcoal organisations and will know who does what.
