"Mining or Fighting, What a Dilema!" Poem - South Stanley Junior School

This poem was created by Jack, Isla, and Theo, Year 6 pupils from South Stanley Junior School, as part of our 'Celebrating Stanley' project. Their words reflect the tough choice many young men once faced between life in the mines and going to war, contrasting the harsh conditions underground with the frightening reality of the battlefield.

Consett Anarchy Sponsored by Building Self-Belief

We are absolutely delighted to be sponsoring Consett Anarchy fooball team. They approached us when they were short of funds to buy a kit and coats, so we stepped up as this is a great way to give something back in support of the local community.
