Peter Gibson MP, Steven Hindmarch (Hellens Group), Natalie Palmer (Latimer Hinks), Matthew Wharton (Wharton Construction) and Kate Chisholm (Head teacher at Skerne Park Academy) A HOST of Darlington businesses have answered Peter Gibson s appeal to provide laptops for children at Skerne Park Academy. The Darlington MP made the appeal after learning that a number of pupils from the primary school on Coleridge Gardens did not have the devices as they need to enable remote learning during the third national coronavirus lockdown. Local and Darlington-based including Hellens Group, Latimer Hinks Solicitors, Recognition PR and Wharton Construction, have together pledged to source and donate 12 new devices to the school.
