STAFF at a Wirral day centre for adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities have praised the 'magnificent community effort' that led to the unveiling of a brand-new cycle track.
Pensby Wood Day Centre provides a varied timetable of activities and sensory experiences, with the new cycle track along, with three wheelchair bikes, part of the provision of day services from Wirral Council.
A spokesperson for the centre said: "Parents, carers, staff and people supported by the centre and many local businesses have been involved in fundraising since 2018 to make this very special facility a reality.
"The accessible bikes will provide an amazing sensory experience for the adults who attend the service.
Many other local businesses regularly donated prizes for the centre's ongoing fundraising events, including Tesco in Heswall, SALT Hairdressing (Jude), 107 nail Salon, Marks & Spencer (Heswall) and Tranmere Rovers.
Two specialist bikes were donated - one by local business Smylies Limited and the second by Vauxhall Motors Workers Charity.
"Their efforts will make such a difference in the lives of the people who attend Pensby Wood, providing them with an amazing sensory experience.
"Thank you to everyone who donated or who worked hard to raise funds in other ways and to the generosity of the local companies who have provided the equipment to make this new facility a reality."
