Disabled Westbury girl Josselin Tilley will be getting a new lightweight wheelchair next year after £1,400 was raised at a music night.

The five-year-old, who has a rare genetic condition, has outgrown her old wheelchair, which was funded with £2,045 from a Wiltshire Times reader appeal in 2008.

A music night, with live bands, a silent auction with a signed David Luiz Chelsea shirt, and a raffle, was held at the White Horse Country Park last month.

Mum Karen, 31, said: “Hopefully the chair will arrive at the beginning of next year. The normal NHS chairs are bulky and too heavy for her to move, so we order special lightweight ones from Germany.

“Her old chair is just too small for her now, and we are hoping to give it to someone else who can use it.”

Josselin has CHARGE syndrome and is profoundly deaf and blind, requiring round-the-clock care. She lives with her mum, dad Lee, 34, and brother Alexander, seven, in Bitham Mill.

She has recently undergone an operation at Great Ormond Street Hospital, to install a bone-anchored hearing aid, which her family hope will enable her to hear by Christmas.
