"In fact, I can't imagine that there is a child at The Bridge who wouldn't benefit from accessing this system and it will become an invaluable component of the timetable for all."

Geraldine Milsom said: "We are delighted to be supporting GeeWizz again this year, it is a wonderful charity and we very much enjoy fundraising for them.
