"We are always keen on ensuring that children receive good quality provision in the local neighbourhood. The credit goes to all our dedicated volunteers for making this happen.”

The children thanked for the Mayor for his time and visit to Deeplish and the volunteers and staff who organised lots of fun based activities during the Easter break.
