A CHARITY has been launched to provide equipment for disabled children.

Sandie and Peter Earp set up The Rhiannon Trust as a legacy to their daughter, Rhiannon, who died in September last year, aged 16.

The Trust will replace the Educating Rhiannon Trust set up by the family in 2003 to provide funds towards the education of and equipment for Rhiannon, who was being home educated.

According to Mrs Earp, money was also given to other charities and causes, and the family have decided to continue this work in Rhiannon's memory.
