The Education Futures Trust was given £250 from the Police Property Act Fund after police community support officer (PCSO) Faye Spires’ nomination.

This will go towards its Cook Together, Eat Together workshop which invites older residents to prepare and cook a meal together as a group, followed by activities such as crafts, games and discussions.
