A free netball festival catering for children with disabilities and additional needs has been hailed a major success.
The Sunshine Sports Festival, the first of its kind in the North East, was organised by England Netball and The Chronicle Sunshine Fund. It was held at Sport Central, Northumbria University, and involved 40 children.
The festival aimed to introduce youngsters to a sport they had not been able to play before due to access needs. Children attended from schools including Cedars Academy, Collingwood School, Dryden School and Beacon Hill School.
