A mum was "blown away" when she found out her son and his friends had used their school strike day to give something back to their community.
Natalie Noon, 32, said her son Kyle was off school on Friday, July 7 due to ongoing industrial action by teachers across the country. Natalie told the ECHO Kyle, 13, left their Kirkby home at around 10am and just told her he was going out with friends.
The mum-of-two said around an hour later she received a call from her sister asking her if she had seen Facebook. Unbeknown to her, Kyle and his friends Sam and Harry had approached local motor supply shop, Auto Aids, and asked if they could buy some equipment to go and clean cars around their area.
