How the grant will be paid


Cheques will be made payable to one of those giving a professional recommendation, who then handles the payment, purchases the equipment, insures it and loans it to the child on a long term and sometimes permanent basis.

The organisation also takes responsibility for issuing the equipment to another child if it is no longer of use or benefit.

Arrangements should therefore be discussed with a suitable organisation before an application is made.

They should then provide a letter of support and agree in writing to handle the grant as outlined above, as well as confirming details of to whom the cheque should be made payable.

Grants are usually featured in the Evening Chronicle newspaper, as the publicity helps raise awareness of the fund and helps others looking for support.

Disclaimer: The Evening Chronicle Sunshine Fund is not responsible for the maintenance and/or ownership of any equipment purchased for a grant recipient.

The equipment is the responsibility of the organisation applying or supporting the nominated child and ownership of the equipment reverts back to the organisation when the user no longer requires it, in order that another child can benefit by its use.
