Safety Works Newcastle
We spent a brilliant afternoon at Safety Works in Newcastle. We learned so much about fire safety, everyday hazards in the home, and some great tips on how to stay safe. Tyne and Wear Fire brigade and Northumbria police made us all feel very welcome. We also had a sneak peak of the new Tyne and Wear Metro!
