Over 70 local people recently attended an event at the Horstead Centre, funded by Broadland District Council’s Pride in Place grant. The free event, run by the Horstead Centre in partnership with Horstead with Stanninghall Parish Council and the Broads Authority, was the first of four planned community activity days to encourage local people to come together and have a greater appreciation for the natural environment. The Horstead Centre’s Manager, Will Mills, said: “Around 4,000 children visit the Centre each year from all over Norfolk and beyond, but many local people have never been inside or seen our beautiful grounds. This event was a great opportunity to share some of our skills and expertise, while inspiring a passion for the natural world.”
