Glastonbury charity Children's World has received a funding boost of £3,000 from Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Sue Mountstevens' Community Action Fund.

The fund is in place to support local charities, voluntary organisations and community groups to help deal with the consequences of the global health pandemic.

"We are absolutely delighted to be chosen for support," Children's World director, Kristen Lindop, told Glastonbury Nub News.

"Donations like this make all the difference to our being able to keep providing our performance-based activities for local families.

"We'd like to thank Sue Mountstevens and her team for their generous support and also our local PCSOs, particularly PCSO Mel Rowlands, whose enthusiasm for our work and support of this application has made such a difference."

PCC Sue Mountstevens said: "I continue to be overwhelmed by the innovative ways local people are addressing concerns in their communities, especially in such extraordinary circumstances.

"You know far better than me what is important to your local communities are and I hope this additional funding goes some way in supporting local people in our area.

"I welcome new applications and look forward to hearing about the innovative projects that local organisations provide for our community.

"By working together we can continue to make improvements and drive the change needed in helping communities of Avon and Somerset be safe and feel safe."

Children's World is currently running weekly live-in-person family activity sessions at Paddington Farm, as part of their DO Try This at Home! project - a fun-filled response to the impact the pandemic has had on Somerset families.

So far local families have enjoyed a wide variety of sessions from hooping to magic, to juggling to flying birds of prey and more sessions will be available soon, including balloon science and the Company of International Artists with Brave Bold Drama.
