Funding tribute to young Jake
Paul Bine and John Conway organised a fundraising event at Chirton Social Club in memory of Jake Farley, who died last August.
The 14-year-old had a muscle and nerve condition and was unable to breathe for himself, but was a happy, popular member of Sir Charles Parsons School in Newcastle, which serves pupils aged 11 to 19 with severe or complex learning difficulties.
