A sports centre for the disabled is to open its doors to more young people, with the help of a £5,600 donation.

OXSRAD, the Oxford and District Sports and Recreation Association for the Disabled, will set up sessions for children with disabilities with the help of the donation from the Abbey National Charitable Trust.

The cash will allow the centre to buy new play equipment -- including a ball pool -- and improve access to the building in Marsh Lane, Marston.

Abbey National branch manager Alison Hawkins joined Oxsrad members, and Oxford East MP Andrew Smith to present the cheque.
