Child mentors are honoured

YOUNG playground mentors from West Lothian will also be honoured with a Diana Award.

The nine and ten-year-olds have tackled bullying in the playground by helping children who have difficulty making friends and teaching new games.

They also held assemblies to demonstrate the importance and protocol of the "games box" at school and are said to be dedicated to their job and are always there to help others.

Anne McLaughlin MSP, who will be presenting all the recipients of the Diana Award with their prizes on Tuesday, said: "It is fantastic to see the achievements of so many young Scots who are determined to make the world a better place."
