Putting smiles on kids’ faces

Youngsters from Spalding’s Tulip Academy were given a fun day out recently thanks to volunteers including one couple who marked 25 years of helping ensure it happenes.

There were 73 youngsters and 23 staff given a fun day out at Wicksteed Park courtesy of the Spalding Rotary Club.

Thanks to its fundraising, it puts on the day for around 2,000 people with learning difficulties or a disibility from across the East Midlands.

For Bob and Jill Bradley it marked the 25th anniversary of the pair giving up their time to ensure the children could have their day.

“It was superb,” Bob said. “It’s fun, energetic, rewarding and humbling. It’s been a pleasure and privilege for me to be part of Rotary, making a difference to people’s lives, even if just for one day for them!”
