WHEN so much of today's news seems to be negative, it is heartwarming to read about the volunteers helping children in care live a normal life.

Life can be difficult for these youngsters, many of whom have gone through a lot of turmoil and to have a steadying influence in their life can only be of benefit.

And it is a two way thing, as one volunteer says, the training he underwent has helped him understand people more.

The charity which operates the scheme is looking for more volunteers we hope the town will provide them.
