PUPILS and teachers from Lancaster and Morecambe have taken part in a 'key skills day' to help them develop employability skills.

The day consisted of a series of interactive workshops, including circus skills, scavenger hunt, motivation and drama.

Several businesses and organisations joined the day at Bartle Hall, Preston.

Lorraine Carter, general manager at the MFI store, Lancaster, said: "It's great to be able to contribute something positive to the local community and to help the young people develop the skills that employers look for in potential employees."
