The Sunlight Project, which helps children aged seven to 11, was set up in response to the government's 2003 report Hidden Harm. The Children's Fund money and government grants that fund the project will end in April next year. No new funding source has been found so far.
The project, which operates in Canterbury, Dover and Swale, runs group sessions for six to eight weeks in schools and community facilities. The sessions allow children to participate in activities like arts, crafts and football.
