Birklands Gardening Club
Birklands Gardening Club benefitted from a RoLo Grant in April 2014, their grant application was for the provision of a Greenhouse at the Reg Freeman Community Garden for use by youngsters at an after school club. This what Chrissie Hancock, the applicant, had to say:
I have been running an after school club at Birklands Primary School since joining the staff 3 years ago. I wanted to provide the children with experiences which they can take with them for life. At first I ran sports based activities, but so did most of the staff. I wanted to offer something that no one else was.
As you may have seen recently in the news, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) have begun a 12 week consultation on proposals to reduce front line services. Part of these proposals include closing Warsop Fire Station for good.
