Harry Potter, Star Wars and Willow star Warwick Davis came to Spalding today to see the work done in giving young people better opportunities for life.

Warwick and his wife Samantha were guests at the new Nacro Education centre in Westlode Street, Spalding, where the couple met learners and staff to find out more about its vocational qualifications in childcare, retail, maths and English.

During a question and answer session, Warwick spoke to learners about his own "challenges" while growing up, as well as his film and TV work which led to him meeting the likes of Bear Grylls, Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson, as well as Dames Emma Thompson and Helen Mirren.
