An educational site is hoping for token success in this year’s Wish campaign.
The Teesmouth Field Centre, in Hartlepool, which caters for all age groups - from foundation stage through to undergraduate level and beyond - aims to bring learning to life for children across the region. The centre has been using the Teesmouth National Nature Reserve and the North Tees area since 1970 and currently offers a range of visits for educational and recreational groups.
After entering The Gazette’s Wish campaign last year, the group used the support they received from readers to help buy a digital camera for visiting schoolchildren.
This year, the centre’s Ann Oxley said: “We would like to purchase some more digital thermometers that are used by the children to measure the soil and air temperature during outdoor activities.”
Every year, Wish gives away thousands of pounds to not-for-profit groups and organisations benefiting the Teesside community. Each registered group will be guaranteed a share of our £40,000 fund.
The more tokens a group collects, the bigger its share of the prize pot.
Although there are no more tokens to collect, there is still time to send your tokens to groups, which must submit them by 5pm on February 27.
To help the Teesmouth Field Centre, send your tokens to: c/o Hartlepool Power Station, Tees Road, Hartlepool, TS25 2BZ.
