Wow - you helped and we did it. An amazing weekend with the Solar Trail. We believe over 1000 maybe 2000 people visited while they walked or cycled along the coast. Instagram is where the main activity is shown. Hoping everyone was able to sign up to the website www.northtynesidesolartrail.co.uk. Post event report now underway while we wait for some other things to come in. WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU! Thank you Dave and Graham

A massive thank you to everyone who has donated, we are over the £700 mark and on the final stretch to the £972 needed. Big announcement is that our #NorthTynesideSolarTrail project has been part-funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and North of Tyne Combined Authority crowdfund opportunity. However.... Whilst we have over 20 donations, we need to hit the £972 mark before the additional £700 is handed over. So please spread the word of this and it would be awesome to hit this before the New Year. Cheers Dave
