Supporting Children and Families with Special Needs
Financial Assistance Towards Equipment and Help
The Southend
Sunflower Trust is a registered charity that primarily provides financial
assistance for children with special needs, who live within the borough of
Southend on Sea in Essex.
Funding
By
helping with funding for equipment, social and health care, education and
personal development, we endeavour to enable these children to reach their
individual potential.

on an annual basis, the trust’s intent is to donate the maximum available
