A disability charity has been given a £5,000 surprise donation.
Accuro, which provides respite care, holiday and Saturday clubs and a youth group for people with disabilities in Epping Forest, received the boost from Donal Forrester Trust this week.
The charity plans to put the money towards the cost of maintaining its Under 19 Project, which provides a range of leisure and social activities for young people.
Accuro’s CEO Arthur Steward said: “These are particularly challenging times financially for many local charities and Accuro is certainly one of these.
“To receive, out of the blue, such a generous donation as this is a real bonus and we are very grateful to the trustees of the Donald Forrester Trust for their support.”
