First broadcast: on BBC One ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Olly Murs, 'Busy' and 'Heart Skips a Beat' singer and Xtra Factor presenter, goes back to his home town of Witham, Essex to make an appeal to raise funds for Brainwave - a charity that works with families to deliver therapies to children with a range of disabilities or developmental delay to help them achieve their potential.

The film features 22-year-old Natalie who has cerebral palsy but, with the help of the therapy programme she received from Brainwave, is living independently at the University of Preston, studying for her animation degree - something doctors told her parents would be impossible. Show less
