Lichfield Ladies Circle have handed over a cheque to a local charity.
Sarah Hughes and her son Lewis received the £500 donation on behalf of the ERB’s Palsy Group.
ERB’s Palsy is a condition which mainly occurs due to trauma during childbirth. It can affect one or all of the five primary nerves that supply movement and feeling to the arm causing partial or complete paralysis and although in some cases the babies recover on their own, some may require specialist intervention.
The support group was established in 1991 and has grown steadily to support over 1,600 families in the UK.
Sarah Clark, a member of Lichfield Ladies Circle, whose daughter Jess also suffers from ERB’s Palsy, proposed that the charity be considered for a donation.
A spokesperson for Lichfield Ladies Circle said: “Jess and Lewis took the opportunity to discuss how they are coping with the condition day to day and it is clear that neither of them have let it stop them from achieving anything.
“Lewis is studying engineering and plays both the drums and guitar, while Jess is heading towards her Duke of Edinburgh Silver award – both fantastic achievements.
Lichfield Ladies Circle is a group for women aged between 18 and 45 who want to have fun, socialise, make new friendships and fundraise. They meet twice monthly, usually on a Tuesday evening. For more information visit www.lichfieldladiescircle.co.uk.
