Edubanks are a Cornish Textiles Recycling company that recycle clothing, shoes, leather goods, sheets, curtains, towels and blankets.

Liskeard School and Community College held another incredibly successful sports day to mark the end of a superb year of sporting activity and achievement at the school.

Events took place across the school in the glorious Cornish sunshine. Morning activities included volleyball, cricket, football, rounders and netball. After a lunchtime barbeque provided by our catering partners Chartwells the focus moved to the relays in the afternoon. Competition was fierce, especially when the staff relays commenced, but spirit and togetherness was always at the forefront of activities.

Liskeard School staff and members of the Town Council and local community were delighted to benefit from a first aid training session run by Sarah Dormor, Senior Resuscitation Officer at the Derriford Hospital. The opportunity arose from the donation of a defibrillator by local charity Heartswell in February.

Sarah volunteers her time with the charity and ran a highly enjoyable and informative session about how to help and potentially save the life of someone who suffers a heart attack. By both being able to perform CPR competently and use a defibrillator (there is now one on the school site and six in Liskeard) people’s chances of surviving a heart attack dramatically increase from around 8% to up to 70%.
