A seven-year-old girl is looking forward to a very special Christmas this year - thanks to the clever creation of one young graduate. Evie Hopkins, from Swansea, has cerebral palsy, which affects all four of her limbs as well as her balance and mobility. She can't sit unaided without toppling over, which once made simple pleasures like wrapping Christmas presents, a day out or even eating a meal at the table a struggle. But thanks to a specially designed seat known as the Scallop, Evie is now able to join in with her family and friends. http://www.also4me.com
