AN AUTISTIC boy's dream of swimming with dolphins is a step closer thanks to kind-hearted clubbers in Newport.
Charlie Watson, four, of Nine Mile Point Road, Wattsville is locked in a world that makes speech almost impossible, and interaction with the world around him very difficult. Charlie's family and friends are hoping to raise £10,000 needed so he can go on a trip of a lifetime to America and swim with the dolphins.
And the fund was boosted when Zanzibar in Newport contributed £1,040 towards his appeal with clubbers generously splashing out while attending the popular nightspot.
