Care leavers gifted headphones and speakers to help lockdown blues

Care leavers in North Yorkshire have received a special treat to keep their spirits up during the Covid-19 crisis.

The speakers and headphones are part of Amazon’s Small Acts of Kindness programme, aimed at bringing surprises to those in need during difficult times.
