A GROUP of volunteers have given up their time to redecorate rooms at a special school.

The working party from Blythe Liggins arrived at Northleigh House School in Hatton last week to give the premises a facelift, complete with paint, brushes and rollers.

Team leader Richard Moon, head of employment law, said: “We have a long tradition of working for the local community and we were so impressed by the work done by the dedicated staff at Northleigh House that we wanted to do our bit to help.”

Northleigh was established in 2012 in a country house and is dedicated to overcoming the effects of bullying.

Founders Viv and Fred Morgan, who set up the school in their own home, won a Pride of Britain Award in 2015.
