On Monday, our Young ESOL students spent the day on a bike ride and volunteered at Friends of Tawd Valley with Sally Adams, Community Connector and Wellbeing Officer at West Lancashire Borough Council ☺️

The students pruned hedges, raked unwanted foliage, and moved soil and plants to assist in the construction of a bug hotel. Our ESOL students thoroughly enjoyed their time and some of them have agreed to help regularly by volunteering once a month!

Well done everyone and huge thanks to Sally for this opportunity.

If you would like to come along to view the artwork, we are open on Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th June from 4pm until 7pm.

A huge thank you to Councillor Janet Ingman for attending the event.
