The volunteers work as peer mentors and leaders in the classroom and playground, as well as running after-school clubs. Speaking of his visit, Sir Trevor said: “The Queen’s Trust has long supported City Year UK because its work fits perfectly with our goal of young people helping others.” Janice Thomas, Sebright’s headteacher, said: “We were delighted to welcome Sir Trevor to Sebright and show him how we encourage our pupils here. City Year UK volunteers have made a huge difference in our school.” Featured picture: Sir Trevor with City Year UK volunteers and Sebright pupils
