The Bose store in Freeport, Braintree, decided to donate the used DVD players to the Play And Resource Centre (Parc) at Great Notley Country Park.

The players were kept after being brought in by customers to use in part-exchange for goods within the shop.

Parc was set up by a group of parents who have disabled children and began as a voluntary initiative to establish a permanent facility.
