A North East business is celebrating 10 years of working with the region’s schools to improve children’s lives through play. OPAL North East has worked with more than 300 schools over the last decade, including the likes of Cullercoats Primary School and Lingey House Primary School - helping them to reimagine playtimes.

In that time, they have improved an estimated 3,000 acres of school grounds, trained more than 10,000 members of staff and instigated upwards of 600,000 playful days, resulting in around 75,000 happier, healthier, more active children.
