Every now and then, we put the focus on an area of Sunderland and some of the great scenes we’ve seen there in years gone by.
This time, we are going to Grindon for gymnastics, drums, gardening and first aid.
Join us as we visit the Pantastic Community Steel Band, B’Active Kids group, Kazen Kai karate and Grindon Green Fingers project.
