The National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) project at West Norwood Cemetery seeks to conserve the Cemetery’s magnificent landscape and built structures, as well as offer new experiences and facilities to increase community use. In April 2023 we reported our concerns on the lack of progress being made and the likely escalating costs.

The Grantham Climate Art Prize is a nationwide competition for young people aged 11-25 to draw attention to the climate crisis and the need for urgent, positive action.

Pop up school uniform shops are opening across the borough to support families during the cost of living crisis and to help them cut down on environmental waste. The shops offer families free items including clothing, stationary and other items needed for school. Families can also bring items they no longer need, which can be swapped for items they do need. The shops are open on specific days until 1 September 2023.

The following local volunteering opportunities have been sent to us recently.
