New kit for local school football team!

The Wear Rivers Trust are proud and excited to be associated with Lambton Primary School football team and will continue to work to get our children involved in looking after the river and the wider environment. Lambton Primary is a stones throw from the River Wear at Fatfield in Washington, so the kids all know the river well and are keen to make sure we all look after it! Many thanks to WRT Trustee Dan Britton who funded the strips for both the boys and girls teams 


Howay the Lads & Lasses!
