A SCHOOLBOY with a rare skin condition is enjoying a new wellbeing room thanks to the help of older students.
Year five St Wilfrid’s pupil Danny Griffiths has a fragile skin condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa, where blisters, open wounds and sores form as a result of the slightest touch, rub or trauma.
Year 11 girls, Daisy Smith, Rachel Dimelow, Rocel Saputil, Zoe Georgio, Jess Fleming and Eliza Loftus, from St Nicholas School in Hartford have been helping develop the room for the past 18 months.
The girls spent two days a week in the school in year 10 creating the room, which includes games, a television and a DVD player. It is decorated with the initials of Danny’s favourite football team, Everton.
