Northumberland Spoon invested £40,000 in I.T. equipment for local youth participating in the Playing for Success project at Newcastle Falcons.
Wanting to make the most of the royal visit North, the regional committee also took the Princess to a display from each of the schools in the area who had received funding from Spoon since the Northumbersland Spoon committee was formed in 2000 to see the original impact and what progress had been made since their initial donation from Spoon. She was introduced to Northumberland and Durham committees along with local sponsors who have supported the charity's efforts for years.
Rob Andrew unveiled the plaque commemorating the occasion and officially open the learning centre with over 60 Spoon members in attendance.
The flowers were presented by Jordon who was accompanied by Elizabeth Brown, the Head teacher of the Grove School in Berwick. Jordon was introduced to Johnny Wilkinson, Matthew Tait, Jamie Noon and Toby Flood who waited with him and helped him present the flowers to Princess Anne.
