Given the uncertainty around the feasibility of an event of this scale taking place this summer, it has been agreed by majority decision amongst those most closely involved with the event that we should defer this year’s Swannington In Bloom to 2022.
Whilst this is disappointing for all of us, and our prospective visitors (many of whom come back time and time again), we believe it is the most sensible course of action at this time.
If you wish to donate food and/or household goods there are collection boxes at the back of both Swannington and Attlebridge churches.
The webpage contains: Brief information on how to use the database A short video demonstration A tips document on maximising successful applications with hints and tips from grant organisation trustees A feedback link to report out of date information, suggest organisations to include, or just give feedback on your experience of using the database
Norfolk Citizens Advice has been running webinars on using the database, and if you weren’t able to attend they can provide you with recording of one of the webinars, or the resources used so you can run your own in-house.
