A TALENTED songwriter from Stanford-le-Hope joined forces with a new Thurrock charity to tackle bullies.

Vicky Jones, 34, who works at Gable Hall School, in Corringham, wrote a track called “House of Cards” for Greatness over Bullies.

The charity encourages young people to meet and talk about all aspects of bullying.

Vicky said: “The track I wrote is called House of Cards and focuses on the effects of bullying, but has a positive message at the end.”

The track is now available on iTunes for 79p and all proceeds go to the charity.
