BBC Children in Need “Life in Lockdown” Documentary
In early Autumn we were asked to be in a BBC Children in Need special documentary called “Life in Lockdown” which showcases children and young people experiencing a variety of challenges, as they cope with the effects of the pandemic. We were one of the 4 families chosen to speak about our experiences, with my son Ethan talking about Stargardt, his challenges and what helped him during lockdown. You can find more information about the programme on this link below. Please tune in tomorrow- Wednesday 11th November at 7:30pm on BBC1.
