National Citizen Service volunteers’ help for Spalding’s In Bloom entry

Local volunteers from the National Citizen Service rounded off their valuable help for Spalding’s In Bloom effort this year by donating £461.24.

The young people – part of a scheme to learn skills for work and life – worked with In Bloom committee member Jan Whitbourn to tidy areas around the town in the run-up to judging.

Fellow committee member Angela Newton said: “They were fantastic and we’re very grateful.”

The donated money came from tombola and flower stalls which the young people held in Sainsbury’s Holland Market store.
