A LITTLE girl who suffers from a condition which means she has to monitor everything she eats has given a presentation to her classmates to help raise awareness of her condition.
Lucy Armer, six, was diagnosed with coeliac disease in February which means she must eat a gluten-free diet.
Gluten is found in wheat, barley, rye and oats - and is found in many everyday foods such as bread and pasta - and can cause Lucy unpleasant symptoms if she eats it.
Her mum Sarah said Lucy started to feel unwell just before Christmas. She had lost weight and was tired.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
