Joining a school celebration of local volunteers and workers
PC Victoria Haley and PCSO Mark Walker spent an afternoon visiting Heron Hill Primary School.
As part of their learning about social enterprise, Year 5 pupils presented a range of products which they had made for a selection of people who volunteer or work in the local community.
The pupils' work was fantastic and we are really grateful to be invited to celebrate the work of local people for this community.
