Free breakfast clubs are making a real difference for families in Mansfield! 🍽️

The government’s expanded breakfast club programme is helping children start the school day ready to learn, while giving parents more time, flexibility and support. 💙

In Mansfield, four schools are benefiting:
🏫 Newlands Junior School
🏫 St Peter’s CofE Primary Academy
🏫 Holly Primary School
🏫 Netherfield Infant School

Breakfast clubs help reduce barriers to learning, make mornings easier, and ensure children have a positive start to the day. 🌟

Mansfield District Council - My Mansfield

We must never forget the sacrifices and danger that every single police officer put themselves in.

This young police officer, Jess Turnbull of Northumbria Police, has made the ultimate sacrifice of her life, whilst doing her duty in service of her community.

When you here people criticising honest, decent and hardwork police officers, please remember that they are all everyday citizens, working in absolute service to their own communities.

RIP PC Jess Turnbull.

Cramlington crash police officer, 19, dies in hospital Jess Turnbull "had so much to look forward to in her career and her life", the chief constable says.
