This is the playground we're aiming for... It is designed to help children with their coordination and balance - better coordination and balance means that children can jump, climb and play sports without falling over. In the classroom, this means children have better pencil control. Physical exercise is important for young children to strengthen their developing muscles. Better muscle structure means healthier children. Healthier children means happier children. Happier children means brighter pupils. With so much more to be done to combat childhood obesity, we are trying to keep our children healthy and active by giving them a playground which challenges them physically as well as mentally.

Many thanks to the staff and customers from the Globe Hotel in Gateshead for their kind donation of £30 towards our project! It just goes to show, your small change can make a big change! If you work for a business and you think you could hold a collection bucket for us, please get in touch. The money will be added to the page as soon as our office staff to get a chance x

The money raised from our Smarties tube has been added, as had the money raised by the customers at The Plough, Gateshead! Thank you so much for your support!

Our Key Stage 2 children talk about the impact their new playground has had on their wellbeing. If we could hit our target, we could create the same impact on our younger children. Will you help by pledging and sharing this? https://youtu.be/hc2ZmqhqMMU

Thanks to £4000 from the Tesco Bags of Help scheme, we were able to finally give the Key Stage 2 children the play equipment they desperately needed.
