Students from Torpoint Community College took part in a beach clean at the Chapeldown area of the town.

The students are involved in the Lions Young Leaders in Service, a scheme which encourages young people to get involved in community service projects.

Torpoint and Rame Peninsula Lions Club says it is delighted to be involved with these motivated young people who care about the area in which they live and about helping others, and adds that they always turn up cheerful and very respectful.

The club says the clean-up was really worthwhile, as those taking part removed 31kg of plastic, iron and other items of debris.

The students involved were Jasmine, Caroline, Abby, Loren and Grace. The teacher was Chris and the Lions were Andy, George, Mary, Marianne, Richard, future Lion Louise and Lions helper Barbara.
