Graeme Dingle Foundation delivers online as kids put resilience skills in action
A programme designed to teach kids resilience has jumped at the opportunity to keep reaching students throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
The Graeme Dingle Foundation, which delivers three different life skills programmes to Marlborough students, has moved its teachings to virtual platforms in light of the coronavirus lockdown.
