Story
No more deaths on the River Wear! Because there are insufficient safety measures along the River this has led to 3 deaths of University Students within 14 months and 1 near miss.

I would like to say a massive thank you to all of those who have supported the campaign and generously donated. It means a lot to me and to those who have children at the university and future students who may attend the university and will really benefit their safety. I have been requested by many parents and supporters to continue with the campaign until the findings of The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents report are available in the hope that further donations may be received to increase the fund and help us to provide more safety measures.

Such a tragic waste and so very sad for the students' families and friends. Anything that improves safety is vital.

I am Mum to a Durham University Student and have watched/read the news with great sadness. If we can save just one person from a tragic accident it will be money well spent.
