North East schoolchildren were given the chance to help decorate a house building company's offices this Christmas.

Children from Kingston Park Primary School were given the opportunity to visit and help decorate Taylor Wimpey's Woolsington Grange sales office this festive season.

Meanwhile, the children were able to make Christmas ornaments such as baubles, Christmas characters, and mini wreaths after receiving arts and crafts donations from the company.
