The Goring Ghost ~ Letter

But the signal box door was locked and the key was still in the inside of the door.

How could he have got out? Ted thought.

Ted looked out at the crossing. The gates across the road were still closed. Ted opened the crossing gates to road traffic. Just in time, as a milk lorry had appeared at the top of the road.

It was now half past five in the morning. The first passenger train of the day was approaching. Ted closed the crossing gates and cleared the signals for the train. Neither of his colleagues in the signal boxes on either side of him had rung up to report the Ghost Train, and if it really had gone past, someone else would know about it.

As he rode off home, Ted could only wonder at the events of that night shift and hope that the next one would not be so eventful.

Dear Glenfield Gazette

ACROSS Leicestershire hundreds of amazing people are helping to make a huge difference to young lives volunteering for The Children’s Society.

This Volunteers Week (1-7 June) we would like to say a huge thank you to our fantastic volunteers and supporters in Leicestershire who help our charity and are dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of young people. Their contributions are shaping a society that nurtures and supports children and we couldn’t be more grateful.

In Leicestershire alone, there are 2,954 children classed as children ‘in need’. But amidst this challenge, the Children’s Society’s volunteers, campaigners and supporters make a real difference to so many young people through the fantastic work they do, directly in our services, volunteering in our charity shops, organising events, donating and raising vital funds and awareness of our work.

You too could be a part of this incredible movement! If you would like to find out more about how you could get involved, visit https://www. childrenssociety.org.uk/how-you-can-help/volunteer-to-help-children or call 0300 303 7000. We are looking for volunteers two can directly support in our services, lend a helping hand in our shops and even take on roles as event managers, speakers and ambassadors. Every hour volunteered, campaign action taken, donation made - it all makes a difference.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Russell Chief Executive, The Children’s Society
