Spratton Hall School

In October 2008 pupils from Spratton Hall School in Northamptonshire held a sponsored Walk around Pitsford reservoir raising over £350 for Standing Start.

 In November Peter Carr (founder of Standing Start) visited the school and explained to a group of 70 year 7 and 8 pupils all about spinal cord injuries and the Standing Start programme. Organised by Camilla and Harriet the pupils worked with a hosepipe, pipe insulation and exercise balls to help them understand how exercise can help improve the life of those with a spinal cord injury!!

Thank you for all their efforts.
