Gladstone Road pupil, Aiden Phillips, is on a mission to help those in self-isolation in Scarborough
Upon hearing that there would be no more school, Aiden realised that he would have lots of time on his hands.
Grandmother, Pam Jackson, said: “He had seen how empty the supermarket shelves are and noticed that vulnerable people can’t get to the shops.”

Aiden created a note, which, along with sister, Ocean, and cousin, Kaitlyn, he has delivered to households in the Sandybed area of Scarborough, it reads:
“Hello, my name is Aiden Phillips. I am 11 and wanting to help in any way I can, for free obviously. If you need a bit of shopping I can go. If you need a lot and heavy shopping my mum can go. (Only pay once it’s been brought to you with receipt)
I can walk small dogs (I will clean up if they mess.)
I can post letters etc.
If you need anything please ring my mum Gemma Phillips on 07472 907 649”

“We delivered some bread and milk to a woman who was crying because she’d never seen anything like it before. She was very grateful.”
