Why they should receive this mention is simple. They were out early and enjoying a walk through the local area, as they often do. On today's journey they came across a confused elderly lady, still in her nightwear. So, rather than ignore the behaviour of this lady, which others appeared to be doing (whether in car or on foot) they took the time to ASK if she was OK. They took the time to find out why she might be outside in her nightwear. They also did not make her feel foolish, they enjoyed a giggle WITH her not at her expense. They stayed with her and made sure she was comfortable and safe, until a policewoman turned up to help.
It might have taken up a small part of their day, it might have seemed a small inconvenience. What they did might have made a big difference to the safety and well-being of someone's mother, someone's grandmother, someone's friend.
If only there were more community stars out there. Well done girls, brilliant to hear such a heart-warming tale of kindness and compassion.
