Beneficiaries - Short Films

The Evening Chronicle Sunshine Fund endeavours to enhance the lives of disabled children in the north east, and help everyone associated with the child. There are hundreds of parents with disabled children in the North East.

We understand that it can cost thousands of pounds to adapt a home and purchase adequate transport and equipment for a disabled child, and that the local authority has very limited funding. The Sunshine Fund is here to provide that much needed equipment.

The following short films show just a few of the children we have helped.

	Andrea McConnel's son, Lewis, has cerebral palsy in all four limbs; this means that he is totally dependent on others for all of his needs. Here Andrea recites a poem written from the perspective of a disabled child. » Play Video (7.9MB)
