A Carrickfergus girl with a rare genetic disorder has found a new specialised swing a game changer during lockdown.

Abby Paton can for the first time enjoy being safely pushed in the adapted swing in her own garden thanks to support from a children’s charity.

The five-year-old has Rett syndrome, which impacts her life in a number of ways including frequent seizures, and an inability to walk, use her hands and communicate verbally.
