Cabinet member for communities Coun Chris Ready said he had been working with the students for years and described them as a “great bunch”.

He added: "Events like this really does make the job worthwhile."

The Hamlet, in Ashton, is a centre for people aged 19 to 25 with additional needs.

Gemma Crompton, who runs The Hamlet, said: “The staff, the students, the councillors and, of course, Chris make The Hamlet the success it is."
