CREATIVE youngsters at Minehead Middle School have made their own token of thanks for a local businesswoman who has helped pupils with a number of projects in recent years.

Members of the school's year seven textiles club made a colourful wall-hanging of an exotic toucan to present to Sally Eveleigh, the owner of Toucan Wholefoods in Minehead.

Over the years, she has given up her time to visit the school to run workshops on healthy eating and to explain the benefits of eating a varied and wholesome diet.

The youngsters presented her with the wall-hanging in recognition of her help and commitment to the school.
