Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My daughter and a group of her friends wanted to fundraise for NETA and also see a large amount of litter in the area behind the Spinney flats and on the Waggonway between South Gosforth and Benton Road. They decided a sponsored litter pick would be a good way to clean up the area and that they could ask for sponsorship for a great cause at the same time.

NETA is important to our family because I am a speech and language therapist and have worked with people with aphasia for many years. Aphasia is something that can happen after a stroke or brain injury and means difficulty with understanding, speaking, reading, or writing. You can find out more about the work of the NETA charity and support centre at www.neta.org.uk
