Torchwood star brightens up the play

PUPILS at a Barry school were transported into another world when Torchwood star Eve Myles paid them a visit.

Eve, who plays Gwen Cooper in the popular Dr Who spin-off, was at the Ysgol Maes Dyfan to present a cheque for £17,000 from the Welsh region of sporting charity, The Lord’s Taverners, to pay for a state-of-the-art outdoor play area.

Ysgol Maes Dyfan caters for children between the ages of three and 19 with moderate to severe learning, mobility and sensory difficulties.

The Lord’s Taverners is a national celebrity sporting charity, which raises £1.6m per year to give young people, particularly those with special needs, a ‘sporting chance’.

The play area includes a low-level adventure link trail, wobble bridge, balance logs, stepping stones, parallel chains and two adventure huts.
