I have worked at Gibside School for just over a year with the Nursery and Reception children.

I am reminded on a daily basis by these wonderful and inspiring children that we need to give them the best start in life we can.

The staff, working with parents, truly are amazing and work tirelessly to help each and every child reach their true potential.

Sadly, as we all know, times are challenging and budgets do not stretch to cover everything we would like to do.

I am therefore going to challenge myself and conquer my dislike (putting it mildly) of heights and abseil from the Tees Transporter Bridge.

Please help me by giving whatever you can and support this very deserving school.

Thanks for reading 😁
