School pupils could soon be helping the community with Castle Point's Volunteer Bureau.

The youngsters, from Canvey's Castle View School, met bureau co-ordinator Suzie Brutnell to learn how they could help their local area.

The meeting formed part of their work for the Trident gold community award, which is geared towards giving youngsters more "real life" experience to help when they leave school.

Suzie said: "I was really impressed with the enthusiasm shown by the students.

"They were polite, ambitious and motivated."
