Are the potholes across Bassetlaw driving you quackers?🐥
It’s National Apprenticeship Week, and there’s good news for young people in Bassetlaw 👏
The government is investing £725 million to create 50,000 more apprenticeships, opening up more chances for young people in Bassetlaw to earn, learn and build a strong future close to home 🌱
If someone misses out on their first-choice apprenticeship, a new system will help match them with similar opportunities nearby, so fewer young people in Bassetlaw are left without options 🔄
There will also be one easy online place to find apprenticeships, see what people earn, and understand where different apprenticeships can lead 💻
This is about giving young people in Bassetlaw real opportunities and helping local businesses find the skilled workers they need 📈
Today I volunteered at Bassetlaw Foodbank, and it really showed how important this support is. Anyone can face a hard time, and it’s reassuring to know there is a foodbank here to support Bassetlaw residents when they need it most.
Over the past year, Bassetlaw Foodbank has:
👨👩👧👦 Supported local people
📉 Seen a 6% decrease in the number of people needing its support over the past year
🙋♀️ Worked alongside over 100 volunteers, helping some gain new skills and qualifications
🛒☕ Welcomed people into the community shop and café, offering meals and a friendly space
🤝 Brought local organisations together to offer advice, support and learning sessions
🌱 Grown fresh vegetables used in food parcels and meals
Bassetlaw Foodbank plays an important role in bringing people together and offering practical help and support within our area.
It was lovely to meet and work with the other volunteers who regularly give their time to this good cause. Thank you to them, the Food Bank would not survive without you.

Last week, I visited Whitworth Bros Flour Mill, a place many people pass every day without realising its importance to the food industry.
I toured the mill and saw how flour is made. It was great to see a family-run business where pride and care are clear in everything they do.
Whitworth Bros provides good local jobs and supports our community, with products made in Worksop used across the UK and beyond, putting us on the map!
