ITPS Helping Disabled Children Across The North East

For the past seven years ITPS has been a major financial supporter of the Evening Chronicle Sunshine Fund. Their support has provided so many children with equipment that has made an incredible difference to their life and that of their families.

ITPS is a locally based company that provides innovative, cost effective IT solutions and support packages to a wide range of diverse clients. Their success is down to the quality of the services they offer and the excellent ongoing care and support they provide to their customers.

Garry Sheriff Managing Director of ITPS said: “ITPS chose to support the Sunshine Fund as it is a local charity, close to our hearts. It’s hugely rewarding to see the benefits our continued support has made to disabled children within the North East. We have been supporting the charity for seven years and to date have donated in excess of £80,000. During this time, it has never failed to astound us just what sort of a difference our help can make to a child”.

Carol Pattison Sunshine Fund Director said: “ITPS are just an amazing company and their support has provided thousands of pounds worth of equipment that many families may not have been able to afford. The difference a piece of equipment can mean to a disabled child and their family is incredible. On behalf of the Sunshine Fund and most importantly the families whose lives you have changed, we would like to say a very big thank you.”
