Here are some of the best clips from the day:

Ray spoke to Jo German of the Wisbech Children and Families Project. He found out what projects and groups they're involved with and how they've been helping to support children and families in the area. Ray also spoke to Dawn Smith who first had contact with the group when her son was born. She has taken advantage of a computer course that has been running at the Oasis Centre - and has even written a poem about it!
