Oliver is eight years old and, like most boys his age, he longs to be able to play football with his mates all day.
Although his IQ is above average, Oliver is severely autistic. This means he's unable to grasp what's going on around him and he hasn't developed the social skills that most of us learn as a natural part of growing up.
Living in a world he doesn't understand, life can be very overwhelming for him.
He often finds it too traumatic to leave the safety and security of his family environment and so he barely leaves his house.
With no access to school or clubs, his best friend is a little boy who lives in a house across the road.
Oliver has never spoken to, or played with him.
"It's soul destroying to see your child go through this" says his mum, "he tries so desperately to get things right but then ends up getting them so wrong."
"He doesn't understand the consequences of his actions. That's what autism is about."
Thanks to you, Oliver and his mum have found hope through Ipswich Town Community Trust.
This brilliant project uses Sport Relief cash to help youngsters with a range of behavioural disorders and disabilities so they can get together and have the opportunity to play team sports.
For Oliver, it is a life-line and one of the very few things that tempts him out of the comfort of his routines at home.
It's easy to see why...
"He talks, he smiles, he laughs and he has fun" says his mum, "it's just brilliant. Here he can be like every other child and learn the skills to play as part of a team"
"Here he is valued, for what he can do, and then he can go back and say ‘I played for my team' and come away saying ‘We're good, we scored'."
