We have launched the Challenge Wear1 project with the aim to transform the dream vision of children at a special school into a reality.

Pupils at Barbara Priestman School have drawn up their dream playground. The Wear1 Fund has already given £10,000 to the project.

Other companies have pledged support, but more help is needed.

But there is still a way to go, and the campaign needs the help and support of businesses, groups and individuals who can donate materials, services and equipment.

Echo editor Rob Lawson: “I hope with so many kind-hearted, community-minded people in Sunderland we will be able to see something really special done for the children at Barbara Priestman School.”
