The 1st Holt Scout Group |
This Scout group are wanting to expand. Sadly, they are the only
Scout provision left in Blakeney, Briston and Holt and the
respective surrounding villages which includes Bodham. They
provide Scouting for boys and girls from 6 - 18 years of age
through their Beaver, Cub, Scout and Explorer Scout sections.
They would also like to open more sections including a Squirrel
Drey for children aged 4 - 6. Scouting offers opportunities for
young people to develop and realise their potential through
having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on
challenges.
If you have a child or young person who would like to find out
more or join then follow the link to the website -
www.1stholt.org.uk. If you may be interested in volunteering
with the group as a helper or as a member of their leadership
team then please follow the link above. |

Community Connectors |
What does an ‘Age Friendly’ Community look like to you? What would make
Sheringham a more ‘Age Friendly’ place to live and visit. We are looking for
opinions and comments on these questions to help the planning of an upcoming
project. It’s possible that your thoughts could be based on the following eight
areas of Healthy Ageing…….
Outdoor spaces and buildings • Transport • Housing • Social
participation • Respect and social inclusion • Civic participation and
employment• Communication and information • Community support and health
services. Or something completely different!
Your opinions on these areas could help us shape our project and contribute to
Sheringham and other towns in North Norfolk becoming ‘Age Friendly’ communities.
There will be questionnaires available in The Red Hart and the Village Hall
for you to complete before a brief presentation on my visit to the Community
Cafe on 24th February [after the scam talk]
