Sullivan's Heroes

Sullivan's Heroes offers fundraising support and financial assistance to families funding vital home adaptions for their disabled child.

It supports families where the costs of the project exceed the amount of Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) awarded.

The charity helps families by:

  • Awarding grants to help meet costs for building adaptation work
  • Providing a website platform to enable families to promote fundraising activities for their own adaptations. The family will receive 100% of the original donations (where Gift Aid is applicable) and no fees will be deducted.

Applications for the grants and the fundraising platform are usually made after DFG approval.  Though a fundraising platform may be set up prior to approval no funds will be released until DFG approval is confirmed.

Sullivan's Heroes gives priority to families within West Sussex, East Sussex and Surrey.  Though consideration is given to families outside of these areas when funds are available.
