Just wanted to thank the amazing Alfie Neale one more time for playing with so much love and feeling he made the sun actually come out and rain stop on Saturday totally defying the weather forecast.......

WOW we have seen a small army of Supersleuthers in today! If you hand in after today, just pop up to the 2nd floor of the Temple Hill Building 49 High West Street, and poet them in the white box on the landing. If the blue door from the high street is for some reason closed, just post them through the letter box, they will be safe ;-)

There are still 6 days left and the first fe that did the competition early on smashed all 120 flags in 3 days!!

This Chloe, she was very excited to hand in her mission report today with a week left to do!

Her mum told us how proud she was that she had seen a massive change over the summer (whilst Chloe was doing the competition), in her self confidence and communication skills as she engaged with the shop staff and business owners - Well done Chloe! Its a main reason we love Supersleuth!

Some of our Supersleuthers this year may have spotted the beautiful hanging baskets around town that the Dorchester BID funds in partnership with the Dorchester Town Council but those even more observant might have spotted this one that has gained a resident to nest for a while 🤣🥰

I should also add that this lovely photo was captured by one of our wonderful town Ambassadors, Sue Cull

And still they come, this is Mia and she's just finished her mission report and brought it to the office. Well done Mia who told us that her and grandpa had had a lot of fun doing Supersleuth and, like we often find, discovered many new shops in parts of town they don't normally visit! Music to our ears 🥰!
