Cromer and Wells benefit from£100,000 government grantCoastal Revival Fund helps twoheritage sites in North Norfolk

A £100,000 government grant will help breathe new life into two heritagesites in North Norfolk.The Cromer West prom Art Deco block renovation and the Wells MaltingsProject have been awarded £50,000 each under the national Coastal RevivalFund scheme.The purpose of the Coastal Revival Fund is to help kick-start the revival ofat-risk heritage sites that have potential to create opportunities for new busi-nesses and jobs.

It seeks to support commu-nities looking to unlock theeconomic potential of thosehard-to-tackle buildings, fa-cilities and amusementssuch as piers, lidos andproms.The Cromer grant will beused by North Norfolk Dis-trict Council to support therenovation and rejuvenationof the Cromer West prome-nade Art Deco chalet block.The block was severelydamaged in the stormswhich ravaged the NorthNorfolk coast in December2013.The Wells grant will helpthe Wells Maltings Trust de-velop a landmark heritage,

arts and community proj-ect in the Grade II formerMaltings building in thecentre of this rural,coastal community. Thebuilding will be trans-formed into a communityspace, heritage and learn-ing centre, auditorium,café and central box of-fice and tourist informa-tion centre.The Coastal RevivalFund money will pay torefurbish, repair and re-configure the existingMaltings building.Cabinet Member for As-sets Cllr John Rest said“Both the Cromer andWells projects support thelocal economy and helpcreate income for thecommunity. We appreci-ate the fact that both ofthese bids were success-ful and look forward to the projects proceeding in the new year.”Norman Lamb MP commented “I am delighted that Cromer has won thissupport. All along the North Norfolk coast we have seen two years of hardwork to get back to ‘business as usual’ after the Tidal Surge. Communitieshave really pulled together. This is another piece of the jigsaw and I hopeCromer prom will continue to go from strength to strength,” said Mr Lamb.Becky Jefcoate, Wells Maltings Project Development Manager, said “We arevery excited to hear the good news about the Coastal Revival Find, whichwill help us transform the Maltings into a landmark visitor attraction nextyear for local people and visitors to enjoy.”

Cosmetic Surgery and Non-surgical treatments for 2016The popularity of cosmetic procedures is on the rise. A high pro-portion of men and women would consider surgical or non-surgi-cal procedures today.

There have been amazing advances in technology and our under-standing of age related changes allowing us to achieve resultswith minimal recovery time.

At the same time there has been a shift in attitudes. Stretched ar-tificial appearing facelifts of the 70s are out. Patients today wanta natural, fuller and fresher appearance.

We also now understand that bigger, more invasive surgeries donot necessarily provide better results. These are associated withprolonged recovery periods and higher risks. A lot of doctors andpatients are moving away from these. Today more than 80% ofcosmetic procedures are non-surgical or minimally invasive andthis number is going to rise further as newer and better treatmentscome along.

Let us look at what is driving this change-We now know that facial ageing is more than just sagging skin.In the past you would have major facelift under general anesthe-sia. You would bruise and swell for weeks and you would looktighter but not necessarily younger! We now know that the facedeflates due to loss of soft tissue such as fat and even bones. Wealso know that skin quality also suffers. So now we address allthese aspects of facial ageing. Lasers have come of age and canrepair and rejuvenate the skin. Soft tissue fillers or even fat canreplace lost volume and if we do these two treatments we don’tneed major facelift. A less invasive alternative is just as good andprovides more natural appearance. We can now do facelifts underpure local anaesthesia with no to minimal bruising and no to min-imal recovery period depending on the extent of surgery.

For body contouring also you do not need general anaesthesia. Itcan be carried out purely under local anaesthesia with fine instru-ments while you can be listening to music. You can also utilizethe removed fat and recycle it for enhancing other body partssuch as hands, breasts or buttocks. Possibilities are endless.

For more information log on to our website www.coltishall-clinic.co.uk or call uson 0800 0430737.We have full range ofnon-surgical to surgi-cal options to choosefrom.

Hospice starts big plans forPatient Kitchen Garden The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House iscurrently in the middle of expanding itsPatient Kitchen Garden to enhance theGardening Therapy Programme.

Dobbies in King’s Lynn have kindly do-nated £1000 towards the project, whichwas fantastic as Emma Shaw (Senior Pal-liative Rehab Assistant) who runs the Gar-dening Therapy Programme was able tohand pick a variety of bulbs, flowers andequipment tailored to the needs of the cur-rent patients.

The Patient Kitchen Garden faces ontofields which are jam packed with wildlife.Patients can not only enjoy the gardeningaspect but also the nature which accompa-nies it, thanks to their new bird table.

Victoria Emden, Community Champion at Dobbies Kings Lynn said the “Dob-bies Here We Grow scheme aims to support our local communities to enhancegreen spaces and get growing. We were really keen to support The Norfolk Hos-

pice and its Social and Therapeutic Horticulture group as we know how benefi-cial gardening can be to vulnerable people. The Norfolk Hospice is also ourLocal Charity Partner for 2015, so it felt like the perfect fit for our store’s HereWe Grow Gold project this year. From this donation I hope the group can enjoythe calming nature of gardening and create peaceful spaces for those who need it

most".

Dobbies donation has arrived at the perfecttime, as an extra-large wheelchair friendlygreenhouse has just been put up by support-ers of the Hospice and engineers from RAFMarham (CPL Mzungu, LCPL Dunning,LCPL Needham and LCPL Wailutu). Thelabour of the paths were donated by MartinBacon Plant Hire, and a local charity calledPhobbies who provide creative activities todisabled people will be making raised bedsso all abilities have full access to the garden.

Mark Shea, Commercial Director at TheNorfolk Hospice said “I would like to say amassive thank you to everyone who has sup-ported this project, especially to Dobbies”. Ifany local companies would like to partner

with us next year, please call the Fundraising Office on 01485 601701.

During the end of October, The Norfolk HospiceTapping House courtyard at Hillington was transformed into a beautiful and peaceful gardenfor patients, volunteers and staff to enjoy!

Approximately 1100 plants from Crane GardenBuildings have been planted with the majority ofthese being grown by Norfolk nurseries. Theseaward-winning plants were previously displayedat the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea

and Hampton Court FlowerShows.

20 tonnes of shingles hasbeen laid which was donated by Middleton Aggregates. A further 7.5tonnes of shingles and 4tonnes of carrstone havebeen set which was donatedby Frimstones from theirSnettisham quarry. 190square meters of turf hasbeen laid, curtesy of QLawn near Feltwell, and arotivator was used to

prepare the soil, loaned by Newmarket PlantHire.

Alison Findlay (RHS Volunteer Co-ordinator)has helped provide some of the wonderful volun-teers to dig, plant and rake. Stepping Stones,Norwich have also been helping, as have manyof our own volunteers and staff.

Mark Shea, Commercial Director at The NorfolkHospice said “The gardens are looking fantasticand everyone at the Hospice is extremely thank-ful for everyone’s help. A special thank you toCrane Garden Buildings and particularly PeterMortin for designing, donating, sourcing and co-ordinating everything to make this all possible”.

If you would like to volunteer as a gardener on aregular or casual basis at the Hospice we wouldbe delighted to hear from you, please call DavinaClarke (Volunteer Co-ordinator) on 01485601700.

Cromer New Year’s Day FireworksOn behalf of Cromer New Year’s Day Firework Committee, I would like to say a big thank you to every-one that made this year’s event the most successful in rais-ing over £12,000.

The many people behind the scenes who help put this alltogether, and particularly to Clive Casburn of Premier Fireworks, who creates a very special and individual display, that makes this a ‘must see’ way of be-ginning the New Year.

Thank you too, to the very generous folk who donate to-wards the event, which will enable us to put on next year’sevent, and give grants to local good causes. Any group orindividual who would like to apply for a small grantshould contact Cromer Town Council([email protected])

Jim BondChair of Cromer New Year’s Day Firework

Norfolk Hospice Courtyard

Over the years there have been some bizarre and unusual art installations in the Turbine Hall of TateModern in London. The current work is called EmptyLot and is the work of Mexican sculptor Abraham Cruzvilleges.

Two large stepped triangular platforms, created withscafolding, support a grid of triangular woodenplanters. Each planter was filled with soil collectedfrom parks, heaths, commons, green spaces and gardensacross London. Some compost was added and theplanters are lit and regularly watered. However nothinghas been deliberately planted in the soil. Flowers, mushrooms or weeds may or may not grow, dependenton what is already in the soil, what seeds or spores arecarried in the air or what people drop into the structure.For the artist the project is about feelings of hope andexpectation, as much as it is about whatever may ormay not happen over the six months of the installation.Equally, back in the ordinary world, it is always amazing what grows in any soil that is left uncultivatedin our own gardens. Weeds can grow in great varietyand numbers and at amazing speed which can intimi-date the gardener. These weeds can be controlled but

first the type of weed has tobe identified. Some are annu-als, such as hairy bittercressand chickweed, and have aone - year life cycle that ends

with them setting seeds for the next generation. Othersare perennials, like dandelions (having a lifecyclelonger than one year).Annual weedsBring up annual weeds by shallowly working the soilwith a hoe. If you hoe too deep it may bring up unger-minated seeds to the surface.Common annual weeds includeChickweedThis weed thrives on rich soils, quickly smotheringother seedlings and spoiling the appearance of borders.

Remove it promptly before it flowers.Shepherds purseRosettes of leaves grow all year round sending up char-acteristic heart-shaped seed pods after white flowers.Buried seeds can germinate after 30 years of lying dor-mant in the soil, so prevent a potential problem by re-moving plants and seedheads as soon as you spot them.GroundselProduces seeds all the year round. Although hoeingseedlings is effective, remove larger uprooted plants asthese can still set seeds that will germinate.

Perennial weedsIf you wish to use a weedkiller, treat perennial weedswith the ‘systemic’ weedkiller glyphosate, which is applied to the foliage but absorbed into the plant’s sapstream. The chemicals go all the way to the roots andkill all parts of the plant. It’s a slow acting but efficientmethod.Common perennial weeds includeGround ElderUnderground stems grow beneath the soil surface andwind indiscriminately around garden flowers. Patienceis the key if you want to dig out these rhizomes and thejob may have to be repeated several times. You canapply a glyphosate-based weedkiller. Alternatively youcan lay a weed control membrane between plants tohelp suppress the weeds.DandelionRecognisable to us all – you can dig out the long taproot by hand or spot treat with a glyphosate stick. Fur-ther follow up treatments may be necessary.BindweedThe twisting stems of bindweed can swamp flowers andshrubs in borders. Try pushing a pole or cane into theborder next to the bindweed to encourage it to climband then apply the systemic weedkiller with less risk ofit getting onto nearby specimen plants.It will be interesting

Norman Lamb helped to celebrate a local business success in Parlia-ment’s famous ‘Strangers’ Bar’ last month.

The event was organised to celebrate 50 years of Maris Otter barley – avariety that a number of local brewers use to make craft beer.

Norfolk Brewhouse, the guest beer in Strangers’ Bar.

“Banham’s and Crisp Maltings in Fakenham, together with brewers likeDavid Holliday have helped to make this a nationally celebrated brand. Iwas delighted to welcome them to Parliament and I hope they will carryon brewing up a real local success story,” said Norman Lamb.

HELLO - AND GOODBYE!The first Briston Organ Show of 2016 will be both a happy and a sadaffair, because we will have one of our favourite artists playing for us,but it will be his last ever organ show concert! The artist is the very tal-ented Michael McAneny, who had delighted our crowd of live musiclovers many times over the last few years. However, he has other thingshe wants to do in his life, and he decided to make 2015 his last year onthe organ circuit - but as we like him so much, and he likes us so much(!) he has kindly offered to do us an extra special very last show on Fri-

day February 12th. He plays all types of music using his trusty Yamahadigital organ, and always gets a packed house to hear him perform!The show is at the Copeman Centre, Briston, Friday 12 February, start-ing at 7.30pm, with doors open at 7pm. Advance booking is almost es-sential now, as we can only seat just over 100 people. Tickets are £6each, and you can book yours now by 'phoning Carol on 01263 860844.The Copeman Centre is warm and has very good acoustics, comfortableseats, easy free parking right outside, and a wide level entrance whichmakes it ideal for our disabled visitors. If you want an evening of trulygreat live music, in the company of a very pleasant and humourousyoung player, do come and join us!

St Margaret’s Church is very well-equippedfor displaying visual arts, wall to wall verticalscreens, modern heating and lighting, level ac-cess, car park, kitchen etc. As part of its busi-ness plan to secure the future of the church,the Parochial Church Council allows thebuilding to be used free of charge by commu-nity artists, who negotiate a profit-sharingarrangement with the church.

Max has been painting for about 30 years andis currently exploring 'real life narrative' paint-

Sevoflurane gas, frequently usedin human medicine, and one ofthe safest anaesthetics availableand to keep your pet as safe aspossible, all anaesthetics are mon-itored by qualified nurses not laystaff.

Rabbit Friendly Veterinary Care Recognised In North Walsham!


Building work started last month to create a newhousing development in Upper Sheringham,which will provide eight new affordable homesfor local people.The new properties, located off Blowlands Lane,are being developed by Broadland Housing As-sociation in partnership with North Norfolk Dis-trict Council, transforming the site of the formerCouncil Depot which has been vacant for manyyears.With property prices in many areas of North Nor-folk having risen beyond the reach of many localpeople, the mixture of two, three and four bed-room homes, will be a Rural Exception Housingscheme. These are sites where an exception has

been made to normal planning policy toallow affordable homes to be built tomeet local housing needs.Andrew Savage, Executive PartnershipsDirector at Broadland Housing Associa-tion, explained “Rural Exception Hous-ing schemes are a key means ofproviding affordable homes in ruralareas. This development will give localpeople an opportunity to remain living intheir community.We are very pleased to be working withNorth Norfolk District Council to pro-vide this much needed affordable hous-ing for Upper Sheringham, and we look

forward to breathing new life into this vacant site.”North Norfolk District Council’s Cabinet Memberfor Strategic Housing Cllr John Rest said “The de-livery of affordable housing for rent is one of theCouncil’s most important objectives. This partner-ship with Broadland Housing Association, UpperSheringham Parish Council and the Homes andCommunities Agency will create eight rental prop-erties in a rural area, supporting the local economyand contributing to community cohesion.”The start of construction was celebrated with a tra-ditional ‘sod-turning’ ceremony attended by repre-sentatives of Broadland Housing Association,North Norfolk District Council and Upper Sher-ringham Parish Council.The new homes are expected to be completed bySeptember 2016 and will be available for afford-able rent. Properties will be let to households inlocal housing need and prioritised to those with thestrongest connection to Upper Sheringham and im-mediately adjoining parishes of Beeston Regis,East Beckham, West Beckham, Bodham and Wey-bourne. Anyone wishing to apply for one of theproperties will need to have registered in advance.For further information and to register see the‘Your Choice Your Home’ section on North Nor-folk District Council’s website www.northnor-folk.org or call 01263 516375.

Amy Lusher was deputy head girl at Shering-ham High School (2006) and attended Faken-ham College (2006-2008). After moving toPlymouth for her undergraduate degree, Amymoved to Ireland to take up a PhD research po-sition in marine pollution at Galway-Mayo In-stitute of Technology (GMIT).

Microplastics, which are tiny fragments or fi-bres of plastic, are an emerging pollutant ofglobal concern. They are formed either fromthe breakup of plastic litter in the ocean or dis-charged directly from industrial and domesticeffluent. Little is known about their effects onecosystems, yet they continue to become moreabundant and are found in every ocean on

earth.

A keen swimmer and kayaker, Amy grew uploving the ocean. She spent her summers andsome winters on the beach or in the sea be-tween Sheringham and the family’s beach hutat Cromer. She says her interest in biology andmarine life stem both from her mother, AnitaLusher's interest and love of nature, as well asher late grandfather Ken Durrant's passion forinsects.

Dr Lusher’s research was the first to examinethe distribution of microplastics in the NorthAtlantic and Arctic oceans. During her re-search, Dr Lusher developed new methods forsampling at sea, and techniques for the detec-tion of microplastics in animals. Dr Lusherpublished the first reports of the presence ofthis emerging pollutant in the North Atlantic,Arctic Ocean and in whales. She has publishedher research in internationally renowned jour-nals including Nature’s Scientific Reports.Through enhancing our knowledge of mi-croplastics, Dr Lusher’s research provides thefoundation for assessing the ecological risksposed by microplastics. She was honored to ac-cept her Doctorate in her family’s presencewhen they attended her graduation ceremony inGalway in November.

Amy would like to thank her family and

friends from Sheringham and surroundingtowns for their continued support throughouther research, and she dedicated her final thesisto her great-grandmother, Ena Moss (Smith) ofSheringham, who passed away last year butwas extremely proud of her great-grandaughterand would share stories about their respectiveadventures from travelling the world.

The holidays are invaluable for the youngsters, al-lowing them to gain skills and confidence to helpthem deal with their diabetes among others of thesame age. Some go on holiday having never metanyone else with diabetes before. So to be able toleave thinking “I’m not different from anyoneelse” has to make it all worthwhile. 100% ofthem said that they had benefited from their holi-day. If your child is at all interested, please encourage

him/her to contact Jackie or David on 01692405492 or email [email protected] Allcontacts will be acknowledged on a first comefirst served basis.

Whilst we are prepared to fund the holiday, youwould be expected to organise travel and providepocket money.

Details of the holidays for 2016 will be availablefrom us early in the New Year.

As a general rule of thumb, people in Eng-land and Wales can leave their property intheir Wills to whoever they wish. After all, itis the whole point of going to the cost ofhaving a Will in the first place. The courtscan decide if a Will is valid if the deceased’scapacity at the time of making the Will wasimpaired or if it can be proved they were un-duly influenced by another to leave their es-tate to them entirely or in greater measurethan they would have done. However, there

may be nothing that can be done to overturn the Will itself where thesecannot be shown to have occurred.

There may however be another protection for someone close to the de-ceased where they have been cut out of the Will. The Inheritance(Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975 allows, in certain circum-stances, for payments to close family to be made out of the estate despitewhat the intentions of the deceased were in their Will. It is also possiblethat promises that were made by the deceased may be enforceable.

Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975The Act makes it possible for close family and dependents who are not ad-equately provided for financially under a Will, to apply to the Courts for anorder that they should receive reasonable provision from the deceased’s es-tate.

A spouse that is cut out of a will can generally expect to receive a consider-able payment. The Courts are likely to order that provision should be madethat is reasonable for the surviving spouse to have, whether or not thespouse is financially secure or not. Children of the deceased, or another de-pendent relative, might get a lesser payment that is sufficient to ensure thattheir everyday needs are paid for.

It is possible, and in fact quite regular, for these types of claims to bebrought by several different people against the same estate. This is espe-cially likely to be the case in disputes involving a long-running sibling ri-valry and subsequent fallout or a family argument of perhaps the elderlywidow(er) and the fresh on the scene, younger love interest.

Under the Act, the Courts are required to take into account many factors indeciding whether to make an order for provision of the disappointed de-pendent and if so, the amount that the dependent requires from the estate tobe provided for adequately.

Even where such an order is made by the Courts, the Will,as created and signed by the deceased, remains valid. Afterthe terms of the order have been satisfied, the Will continuesto apply to the rest of the estate subject to any further orderof the Courts. This is true of all gifts under the Will and allpowers provided to the Executor(s) of it.

Proprietary EstoppelA person may be granted relief where there was a “representation or assur-ance made to the claimant pertaining to an interest in identified property;reasonable reliance on it by the claimant; and detriment to the claimant inconsequence of that reliance. The claimant has to show that it would be un-conscionable for the person who made the assurance or representation togo back on his word, and deprive the claimant of the proprietary interest hehad been led to expect.” In plain English, this means where the deceasedmade a promise to someone that the Will would leave them something, butthen the Will did not in fact do so. If the person acted on that promise, andsuffered a loss, then they can seek to enforce the promise to receive theproperty in spite of the Will.

Take for example the model of this family business. If the father is the soleowner and has four children. Children 1-3 each leave home and pursue ex-tremely successful careers in the city. Child 4 however enters the familybusiness at 16 when he leaves school and remains there his whole life,without taking a wage and living with his parents on the assurance from hisfather that the business would pass on to him. Father dies and the Willleaves the family business to all four children in equal shares. Children 1-3are delighted because on top of the city salary, they now have a 25% shareof a reasonably successful local business. Child 4 has devoted his entirelife to the business without taking a salary and ends up receiving the sameshare of the business as his brothers and sisters. The rules of equity deter-mine that this is not fair and Child 4 could reasonably make a claim for theentire 100% share of the business.

Again, the Will remains valid, but the specific property in question nolonger forms part of the estate.

These are just two of many potential issues that may arise with the passingof a loved one. At Clapham & Collinge we can provide you with all of thenecessary information, support and legal advice on Will disputes and howthey can be resolved.

The Regency Act 1937 and restrictions on the use of LPAsWritten by Miranda Marshall – Director at Hayes + Storr

The case of XY v Public Guardian (2015) involved a very wealthy indi-vidual who in making his Lasting Power of Attorney (“LPA”) wished toimpose detailed guidance and tight restrictions upon his Attorneys.

The case was brought by the Public Guardian (“PG”), the head of theadministrative arm of the Court of Protection, who refused to registerthe LPA because of the conditions. XY was a high-worth individualwho owned assets in numerous countries and wanted to include addi-tional safeguards. The conditions were intricate and aimed to ensurethat decisions could only be made on his behalf when he clearly lackedcapacity and there was a genuine financial need for a decision to bemade. The provisions were lengthy (5 sheets) and required 2 psychia-trists’ opinions and the opinion of a ‘Protector’. The role of the Protec-tor was to review the medical evidence before the LPA could be used.These provisions were similar to the Regency Act 1937 (the law thatgoverns how decisions would be made in the event of the monarchlacking capacity). The Protector was a third- party who had to agreewith the medical evidence before the powers conferred on the Attor-neys by the LPA could be used.

The PG objected on the basis that most of the conditions imposed werean unreasonable fetter on the Attorneys’ power to act and were there-fore ineffective under the Mental Capacity Act. One of the main con-cerns was that the ‘Protector’ was not an Attorney, yet was in a positionto interfere with the Attorneys’ duty to act in the best interests of XY.The Protector was not bound in law by the same duties as the Attor-neys.

Even though this case is very specific to the facts and concerns an ex-tremely rich person, essentially it is about the question of whether theLPA is effective “only when I don’t have capacity” in accordance with

the prescribed form of an LPA, or not.There is something akin to a govern-ment health warning in the new-styleLPA, as follows: “Be careful – thiscan make your LPA a lot less useful.Your attorney might be asked to proveyou do not have mental capacity eachtime they try to use this LPA”. Thequestion therefore is does “a lot lessuseful” mean the same as “ineffec-tive”?

The Senior Judge who decided thecase told the PG that “it is not part ofhis statutory duties to police the practicality or utility of individual as-pects of an LPA.” This was a polite rebuff to the PG not to involve him-self in such matters. The conditions in the LPA were difficult andcomplex but did not make it ineffective.

The case makes it clear that there is a distinction between a Protectorwho confirms incapacity (allowed) and third parties sanctioning deci-sions of attorneys (not allowed).

Work by Paston Sixth Form Collegestudent to be published in GermanMagazine

As part of their independentlearning, German students atPaston Sixth Form Collegewere asked to produce posters,articles and podcasts on a vari-ety of different topics. The proj-ect was run as a competition,and it was Year 12 student Har-riet Bradnock who handed inthe winning contribution - abeautifully designed poster ad-vertising the German City ofCologne and its various tourist attractions. Impressed by the outstanding quality of the work (and knowing that the studentwas heading to Germany to visit the Christmas markets), Harriet’s teacher got intouch with the Tourist Information Office of Cologne to ask them if they werewilling to sponsor a little prize, and indeed they were more than willing to help.Having received a copy of the poster, they decided not only to surprise Harrietwith a small gift but also asked for the poster to be published in ‘Stadt Intern’,Cologne’s magazine for the city’s employees and their families. Harriet and her family visited Cologne over the Christmas period, where Harrietwas presented with a range ofgifts relating to Cologne fromthe Tourist Information Office.Harriet said “her family en-joyed the visit to Cologne, es-pecially the historic buildings,and meeting the local peoplewho were extremely friendlyand welcoming.”Well done, Harriet!

Pupils from Oak Class at Millfield Primary School inNorth Walsham are calling on others to help raiseawareness about the plight of the planet’s endangeredspecies. The children havebeen learning allabout the fantasticlife-saving work ofWWF and haveproduced magnifi-cent projects,which are on dis-play in the school.Through their in-depth investiga-tions into thedifferent species(which are endan-gered or on the brink of extinction) and being somoved by watching the report on Prince Harry, whohad been to Africa and seen the devastation that wasleft behind by poachers, they decided to do a plannedafternoon of fund raising. They wanted to raise enough money to sponsor asnow leopard for a year. The class made cakes and

treats to sell and createdanimal themed gameswith ‘yummy’ prizes for asmall charge. The chil-dren had put together theafternoon themselves;with a touch of creativecake design from theirteacher Ms Croft; whichmade it extra special as itssuccess was down to

them. When asked why they thought it was important tohelp, their fundamental message was that if we don’tsave the animals now, the animals will not be here

for our children and our chil-dren’s children. Their hope wasby highlighting the animal’splight, they could help raiseawareness and help stop the an-imals from dying out. Sophie Thompson, one of thepupils from Oak Class, said thatif she could do one thing tohelp she would like to workwith the charity in the animals’natural environment. It was asentiment shared by many ofthe class.

The children are sending letters to Prince Harry ex-plaining what they have been doing to raise aware-ness and stepping forward together to join the goodfight. The children were hoping to raise £36 to coverthe cost of adoption for a year but ended up raising£139, which will be spent on sponsoring three endan-gered animals for a year!
