Should it matter in which area you are born? Newcastle upon Tyne has one of the widest educational attainment gaps between affluent and disadvantaged areas. We believe that a family's financial situation should not limit opportunities and life chances. Through low-cost tutoring, clubs and summer schools, Success4All aim to erase the postcode that too often labels educational success, so that two different children, from two completely different areas, who share the same ambitions, can have an equal chance to achieving their dreams.

As for me? I'm journeying 8 miles across wor Hadrian's Wall on the 26th May in a party of 16 (let's hope meteorology is on my side) and, as with my fellow volunteers, I've been set a target of £100 to accumulate. We're working in collaboration with NE Youth and 10 other charities across the region- proceeds will go towards maintaining Success4All's summer school.
