A major appeal has been launched by The Chronicle's Sunshine Fund to provide life-changing equipment for children with disabilities as more families than ever before turn to the charity for help.
The Sunshine Fund says that specialist equipment families could previously get through the NHS or social services is now no longer available to them. In February alone, there was a 64% rise in applications from parents compared to this time last year - and this figure is set to rise.
Now the charity is calling on members of the public to help give youngsters the vital support they need and make a donation to our Urgent Equipment Appeal. The money raised will help to buy equipment that would really transform the lives of children in the region.
