Text reads 'Disability and charity - it's complicated.' The image is the mid-section of one of those old charity collection boxes - they were all over the UK in the 1980s but come from an earlier era. They're essentially statues of children, this one is a boy with an underarm crutch and a caliper, holding a box marked 'Action for the crippled child' - this is the box you'd put your money in.

The text reads - 'Disabled! The best word we have' Photo: Lucy is in the garden with Viola on her lap, they're wearing dark brown & mustard. You can just about see her ancient wheelchair.
