Sunshine Centre for disabled children

The Sunshine Centre is for children aged up to 19 years with a whole range of needs both behavioural and physical. The centre includes a fully equipped sensory room and is for parents and siblings, as well as the child with a disability or special educational need.

Different groups are run by experienced staff throughout the week, including a Saturday club and young carers' group.

The family centre workers are provided by Thurrock's team for disabled children. Information, advice and support is on hand for disabled children and their families.

We keep a register of disabled children for statistical purposes. The register lets us plan for the future supply of services for children with disabilities and special educational needs. Information is kept on a voluntary basis.
