“We took many different pictures including nature, significant places in Crediton and many more landscapes. Whilst we were taking photos, we had to take walks around Crediton which helped us stay active.

“During my time working at the Town Council the work environment was very welcoming, and it felt like you were using your time productively.

“Cath and many other workers kept us busy by providing us with lots of different tasks while keeping us interested and motivated.

“We did various things for the Town Council. Some of them were photography, going to the Makers Boutique, and jobs around the council building.

“I also really enjoyed meeting Alan Quick in the library, and we found out how and why he became the Crediton Courier Editor.

“It was very inspiring to see how he got to the position he is in now and has encouraged me on what to move onto next in my future.

“I am very thankful to Crediton Town Council for taking me and for this opportunity.”
