Springwood Primary School in Swinton caters for the city's children who have special needs and learning difficulties, and play areas are really important for their development.
Now parents group, Friends of Springwood, are trying to raise money for a new bike track, complete with bikes, and an interactive play area...
"Obviously the school gets funding from the Government but it isn't enough for these things which would be amazing for the children" says parent Jolene Moore, whose four year old daughter, Annie-Jo, attends the school.
"She is autistic, has global development delay and is also non-verbal but since she started the school in January this year she has come along really well" Jolene explains "She makes eye contact and interacts more, none of which she did before she started at Springwood. She loves going to school and will sit and wait on the stairs at home for the transport bus to pick her up."
On 10th November Springwood is holding a Christmas Market at the school where there will be stalls*, and raffle tickets will be on sale in order to raise funds for the new bike track and play area. The parents are looking for anyone who can donate raffle prizes to help with the fundraising.
The raffle will be drawn on 15th December. Any companies or residents that can donate items for the raffle please get in touch with Angela Reid on 07789 712679
Or contact the school and ask for Laura on 0161 778 0022
* Stalls are also available for anyone who wants to sell anything at the Christmas Market, at £20 each.
