Harry's House at Stockton has received a new playground thanks to the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation
The specially built playground was donated to the facility which provides free accommodation to families whose children have cancer.
Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation chairman MICHAEL SLATER said the playground is a good community investment
"It's set up to accommodate all the safety requirements that now prevail with children's playgrounds and also to take care of some lack of mobility that may occur around sufferers of cancer," Mr Slater said, "this is an important facility for in so far as it provides some relaxation and recreation for that are dealing with the already stressful issue of cancer in children, so we thought it was a really good worthwhile community project."
The facility is owned by the Harry Meyn Foundation which was established in memory of Harry Meyn who died of a brain tumour at the age of 7.
Fund raising Coordinator for the Foundation, Samantha Meyn, said the equipment will make a lot of children happy.
"The House was fully renovated and... the renovations were absolutely beautiful but we just wanted add some fun and colour and excitement to the yard. We've got some interactive equipment all around the yard and on the side of the shed for the kids to play with."
The Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation is celebrating it's 10th birthday this year.
