A SOUTHAMPTON charity enjoyed a visit from a very special guest - the High Sheriff of Hampshire Sarah Thorne.

Mrs Thorne spent nearly two hours visiting The Social Enterprise Centre and Training Organisation.

The charity helps adults with mental health conditions prepare to return to the world of work by learning useful skills.

Although a charity the organisation survives through its digital printing and mailing business which everyone is involved with.

Mrs Thorne enjoyed a tour of the workshop and spent time talking to learners working in the business.
