Nick Clegg, MP for Sheffield Hallam spent the day in his constituency meeting school children and visiting a local business.
The visits started with a tour of the 'Our Cow Molly' farm shop. The family-run business uses local produce to make its home made ice cream. After trying unsuccessfully to persuade the farm's owner Eddie to part with the food's secret ingredients, Nick said:
"'Our Cow Molly' is a great example of a thriving, well-run family business. Sheffielders should be proud to buy locally made produce - we've certainly got some of the best ice cream I've ever tasted. Sheffield is now not only the city of steel but the city of ice cream!"
He then visited a local primary school St. Wilfrid's, where Year 6 pupils had been busy creating posters to raise awareness of the dangers of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Nick, impressed by their efforts said:
"I really enjoyed visiting the school children today and seeing them so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about such a serious and important issue. The school's headteacher Bev and her staff are clearly doing a wonderful job". The final stop of the day was to Lodge Moor nursery where Nick was just in time to view the children there taking part in a dance-a-thon in aid of Sport Relief.
Afterwards Nick said that:
"This is the best Sport Relief event I've been to. To see all the children joining in, getting some exercise and having fun all in the name of a good cause is what Sport Relief is all about. Lodge Moor Nursery can rightly be proud of boasting some of Sheffield's most promising dancing stars of the future"
