Kyle's Voice Charity
Thursday 11th March 2010

An Andover mum who's experienced the generosity of local people first hand is passing that help on to others.

Tracey Musgrove put out an appeal last October for donations to help pay for a communication aid for her 10 year old son Kyle, who has cerebral palsy.

After the initial success of that, she's now decided to set up a charity, called Kyle's Voice, to help families in a similar situation.

Tracey says she wants to show other people the same kind of support that they've had: "It will be set up only for children over the age of 10 for communication aids.

"The paperwork's done, I'm just waiting for the charity number, so it's good, it's all going through which is great.

"It's made a huge impact on our life, and I just think it's right to let other people experience what we've experienced."

Tracey says they want to help as many youngsters as they can.

Kyle's Voice hopes to run for three years, handing out as much money as they get in, but they don't have specific fundraising targets.

People looking for help will be able to apply for a grant - and if you'd like to find out more about the Kyle's Voice appeal, click here for details.

Meanwhile North West Hampshire football fanatics are being given a chance to play alongside some Southampton legends to raise money for the charity.

A match is being arranged at Andover New Street Football Club in May.

People can send in bids for their place on a team which will take on the Saints players, and eight positions have been sold so far, with more than £1,400 pledged.
