IMG_2378Last week many of our children took part in a fundraising event to help raise money for Frankie Sherwood, a 2 year old boy who suffers with cancer. Frankie is the mascot for Newcastle United Ladies Team.

Players from Newcastle United Ladies Team spent the morning playing football with groups of children from both Chantry and Newminster. Frankie joined in with various groups and enjoyed a kick around with players and children. Many of our children and the adults involved said how much they’d enjoyed the session and being able to meet Frankie. Voluntary donations were very generous and will be put to good use.

Newcastle United players and development manager were very impressed with the attitudes of all children and their level of skill.

Poppy Pritchard (Year 5) was spotted by Newcastle’s development manager and will be asked to attend Newcastle academy. Well done Poppy! A fantastic achievement.

Well done to all children who participated and a very big Thank you to NUWFC for a brilliant morning.
