Peter Wallbanks, Headteacher at Walworth Special School on Bluebell Way, Newton Aycliffe is appealing to Newton News readers requesting unwanted working bikes for his 7 – 9 year old students.

The school is trying to offer the children a different type of fitness opportunity while also helping them ride a bike safely.

If you can help please contact the school on 01325 300194 or by e-mail: p.wallbanks100@durhamlearning.net

The bicycles can be collected from your home.
