Kind-hearted charity workers have donated two specialist chairs to disabled youngsters at a school.

Volunteers at All Counties Children's Disabled Fund, a charity operating from High Road, Benfleet, gave the chairs to Richmond Nursery School.

The specialist chairs, worth £300 each, are specifically designed for disabled children and have neck and arm supports.

Gwen Green, from the charity, said the volunteers were delighted to have helped the youngsters at the school - which forms part of South Benfleet Junior School, also in the High Road.

Mrs Green said: "Our charity donates equipment and money to disabled children throughout the UK. We pay for disabled youngsters such as those with conditions like spina bifida to be flown to Hungary for specialist treatment like speech therapy and physiotherapy."
