I recently went along to take part in, and support, an open day being held at the newly refurbished Tennyson Hall, now simply called Tennyson and home to a number of local charities.

Tennyson is a place very close to my heart as it was the school that I attended as a young boy so I have many memories of the building and surrounding area.

I also had the pleasure of presenting a cheque to local charity the Partnership Council as a token of my feelings for Tennyson, it’s fantastic to see it being put to such good use and helping people in the local area and beyond.
