"Making a difference" with children at Greshams

Kell Norton and I went to Greshams school to help the year 5 children "make a Difference" on make a difference day. We spent the day making 80 portions of shortbread, sausage rolls and muffins. Both of us had a great day with the class and felt like we had made a bit of a difference at the end of it!
