Help!! What is Town Mayor Roxie to do when she loses something very precious to her and indeed, the whole town..? Just before she’s ready to give up, along comes a small, magimistical bear called Strumbold… This is the story of their adventure - about love, keeping promises and finding magic in everyday stuff. It’s a book to be read out loud to the special (big and small) people in your life. Amongst the kerfuffle, confusion and difficulties of living in our world today… this story will help you remember that there are still simple, important things like friendship, kindness, cake and a Festival of Teddy Bears.

Dorchester - getting youngsters engaged

Great to hear about the efforts of Dorchester Town Council to get some young people engaged and excited about the work of their Town Council.

Link here to the story

Thanks to my friend and local businessman, David Hall for spotting this.

Here on in, where I can, I will be highlighting more stories like this about getting young people interested in local government - especially the best and first tier (town and parish councils, of course!)
