AGM Draws Crowds

We were joined by nearly 100 people on our 23rd AGM. The formal part of the AGM was followed by a short presentation by our Conservation Manager, Ellie Beach on what LOHP had been up to during the last year. We then had the annual talk this year by Adrian Ramsay, MP for Waveney Valley and Co-leader of the Green Party 'Supporting and scaling up landscape recovery', which prompted lots of interesting discussions.

After the talks nibbles were enjoyed along with a festive tipple. People were able to catch up with others, enjoy the Creative Fen Art exhibition and other local crafts and even have a go on the tombola.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the evening a great success, see you next year.

Tis the Season

It's almost that time of year again when you have to start thinking about Christmas. Did you know that whenever you buy anything online – from your Christmas gifts and goodies, to your weekly shop, and even your annual holiday – you could be raising free donations for Little Ouse Headwaters Project with easyfundraising?

There are over 7,000 brands on board ready to make a donation – including eBay, Argos, Amazon, John Lewis, Currys, Asda, ASOS, Booking.com and M&S – and it won’t cost you a penny extra to help us raise funds.

All you need to do is: 1. Go to https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/littleouseheadwatersproject/?utm_campaign=raise-more and join for free. 2. Every time you shop online, go to easyfundraising first to find the site you want and start shopping. 3.

There are no catches or hidden charges and Little Ouse Headwaters Project will be really grateful for your donations. Thank you for your support.

The Art of Success

The Art of Success is a fantastic team of volunteers - In this instance I'm referring to the amazing 'Art in Nature' art exhibition that we held at Blo' Norton Village Hall, Norfolk over the bank holiday weekend (25th and 26th August).

With 31 artists exhibiting there was something for everyone. We had over 23 volunteers helping over the weekend and 12 cake bakers. That's not including all the work that had been done prior to the event including all the paperwork and distributing the numerous flyers.

Over the two days we welcomed over 300 visitors, sold lots of artwork, and the teas and cakes flew out of the door. Our aim was to try to raise funds for our charity, LOHP, to help with its valuable work of protecting our unique species and habitats across the fens, and to raise our profile. With the positive feedback from visitors and artists, I think we have achieved this. A huge thank you to everyone involved - see you at the next one.
