Hide AdPhil Crowcroft, Chamber of Trade vice chairman, said: “Much of the value of the day was realised through sharing knowledge on the different good causes supported – ranging from health, environment and community through to friendship and social support.
“I particularly enjoyed being taught how to play backgammon by the U3A team and also how to stay safe on the beach and in the sea by RNLI.
“I was impressed by the wildlife orientated stands, with swans featuring strongly as you would expect in Berwick, through to local public gardening groups.”
