Through Good Fund we have received over £15,000 in donations!
All money that we receive is used directly to provide essential equipment
and learning aids for sick and disabled children in the North-East, to
improve their quality and enjoyment of life. With the generosity of
caring people like you, we can make a real difference to those children and their
families who so desperately need our support.
Thanks again for supporting the Evening Chronicle Sunshine Fund.
