THE Territorial Army is hosting a concert to raise money for a school for children with cerebral palsy.

The TA unit in Heaton, Newcastle, undertakes projects to help the community and has arranged a concert in aid of The Percy Hedley Foundation.

It will take place at 7.30pm on Monday, at King's Hall at Newcastle University.

The foundation opened in 1953 with ten children and now provides services for 160 youngsters.

It is the only specialist school in the North-East for children with cerebral palsy and has pioneered an integrated method of therapy and education. It also provides accommodation and day care services for adults with cerebral palsy.

The money raised by the concert will go towards building a new specialist secondary school and sixth-form college.

Tickets for the concert cost £25, including a champagne reception, and are available from The Percy Hedley Foundation on 0191-266 5491.
