Eight-year-old from Thurlby delivers pom poms to Braceborough Hall Retirement Village

An eight-year-old child has been putting his creative skills to good use to spread positivity.
During lockdown, Arthur Groom, who lives in Thurlby, has been making colourful pom poms and hiding them around the village for people to find while on their daily exercise.
