New classroom for boy with half a heart

Available for over a year

Vinnie, from St Alban's Catholic Primary School in Kings Heath, Birmingham, has a complex congenital heart condition, where one side of his heart did not develop fully in the womb. He needed a downstairs classroom at the school to be able to stay with his friends, who would otherwise move upstairs into a juniors classroom - but it costs £80,000 to build a new portable classroom. After a massive fundraising effort, £88,000 was raised and the portable classroom has been built.
