Ashfield’s Academy Transformation Trust Further Education College had the pleasure of welcoming Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Gary Godden, along with Natalie Baker-Napier, Head of the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Violence Reduction Partnership, to their Community Hub in the Idlewells Shopping Centre in Sutton in Ashfield last week (3rd June).

During the visit some great conversations took place about the important work ATTFE is doing around community safety, cohesion, volunteering, and inclusivity.

The PCC met up with staff, learners, volunteers and College Community Ambassadors during his visit.

He was shown around the facility in the shopping centre that is regularly used by the local community for various events, courses being run and talks.

Both Gary and Natalie spent time with ATTFE College's Uniformed Services learners, answering their questions about careers in the Police Service, a discussion also took place about the power of volunteering and supporting wellbeing and the incredible work ATTFE do to support and work within the local communities.

All involved in the visit thoroughly enjoyed taking part.
