MUSIC fans are invited to dance the night away at a new disco for adults with disabilities.

The disco has been launched by mum Chloe Richardson from Winsford, and is held at Barton Stadium in Winsford, the home of Winsford United FC.

Chloe has a four-year-old son, Jake, and has had cystic fibrosis, an inherited disease, since she was born.

She is a part-time carer, and provides care for Amy Bamford, 30, from Winsford, who helped Chloe to set up the disco.

The discos run from 6.30pm to 8.30pm every Wednesday, admission is £3, and include a raffle.

“There has been two discos, and both were a success,” said Chloe.

“The first one attracted 10 people, and there were 20 at the second.

“Everyone really enjoyed it, including Amy, and I would like to attract between 30 and 40 people to the disco, which would be great.

“I’m hoping with the help of the Guardian to get the word out about the disco to give more people the opportunity to dance the night away.”

One of the reasons Chloe decided to set up the weekly disco was the cost for disabled people of taking a taxi to discos in the area, and to provide somewhere they would feel comfortable and safe.

“We have a fantastic DJ, Dean Holmes from Silk Discos, who has a lot of experience and has received great feedback already,” said Chloe.

“I started the disco because I have recently become a carer for Amy, and soon realised that because of the recent cutbacks there is nowhere in Winsford that provided anything enjoyable for people with additional needs.

“People were forced to pay a lot of money to travel further just to attend a disco.

“I didn't feel this was fair, and I now give up my Wednesday nights to make this happen.

“The aim of the discos is to break even, and the very pleasant staff at the football club let us have the room each week free of charge.”

Any profit from the discos will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, and Chloe plans to organise a charity night for the charity to hand over a cheque once she has raised a substantial sum.

The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is a national charity which funds research into the disease and provides information and support for patients and families.
