I WOULD like to express my gratitude to the young people from the schools around the Bootham area for their kindness to an old lady who I am helping to look after.

This lady is very forgetful and goes out without money. It has come to my notice that on more than one occasion these young people have stepped in and paid for sweets she was trying to buy.

I thought I would write this letter about something good that young people have done, because you read so much about the bad things.
