Sports day raises cash for Comic Relief and Ukrainian children with disabilities

A college community came together on Red Nose Day to help raise money for Comic Relief and a group helping Ukrainian children with disabilities fleeing the war.

Hedleys College, which provides specialist education to young people with disabilities, and Hedleys Horizons, held their sports day at Springfield Park, in Forest Hall, on Friday. The event included a number of sports and fundraising activities including a 60-mile challenge, a sponsored silence and a Sunderland fan wearing a Newcastle United shirt.

The money raised will be shared between Comic Relief and efforts to help families escaping the war in Ukraine.
