Historic Derby saw North East unite for purpose beyond football
While the Black Cats faced the Magpies for the first time in eight years in league competition, the official charities of the North East rivals united behind a greater cause.
This event is the great opportunity for schools to discover how Primary Stars will benefit their staff and pupils, and learn first-hand about how we've helped so many schools over the last 16 years. We are also offering a tour around the Beacon of Light which will give schools and the local community access to world-class facilities including classrooms, a sports hall, five-a-side pitches and an indoor football barn on the roof. I would urge those interested to sign up as soon as possible as places are very limited.
