Sunfield Home – Wellington
Sunfield Home Wellington is situated in Wellington and is a protective workshop and residential centre for intellectually disabled adults who are unable to function without guidance and protection.
This diminished intellectual ability can be:
- congenital,
- genetic,
- caused by injury at birth,
- motor vehicle accident,
- sickness, or
- environmental deficiencies.
Examples include Down Syndrome, Foetal Alcohol Syndrome and oxygen deprivation at birth.
We are a registered non-profit company. Our income consists of monthly fees paid by parents and a government subsidy. The annual deficit is covered via contract work, countless fundraising campaigns and sympathetic and caring donors. Benefactors are our lifeblood. Your ongoing generosity and commitment is crucial to Sunfield Home’s future. Please visit our Donate page to see how you can contribute or become involved.
