Thousands of pounds have been raised to buy an all terrain wheelchair which can be used by children to explore the Yorkshire Dales, in memory of an “inspirational” primary school teacher.

Andy North, who regularly hiked the Dales with his wheelchair using wife Debbie, died at the age of 56 on June 29 shortly after he was diagnosed with cancer.

Before his death, Mr North, the former deputy head at Moorside Community Primary School in Halifax, had asked people to make donations towards a wheelchair which would allow disabled children to explore the Dales.
