A Breckland Village

MG Lottery

Thanks to Lottery funding from the Millennium Commission and other local funders, we have a wonderful Green in the centre of our village.  Here you can walk through the wildlife path, sit and watch ducks dart about the pond or chase your children through the orchard.   The Orchard on the Green

 

Fundraising Activities

The Trust work very hard raising money to maintain the Green for the pleasure of everybody in the village.  They organise a number of regular fundraising activities throughout the year, which have now become regular events on the village's social calendar.

Lottery - £1 could win you £30 - what great odds.  Each week somebody in the village wins £30.  But you've got to be in it to win it and there's a waiting list for this lottery.  It's that good!  The Green gets £19 every week, so everybody's a winner with this Lottery.  If you are interested in joining the waiting list, contact Ann Scott by email below.

 

The very popular Sunday Cream Teas start again on the 10 May.  These attract people from outside the village and last year raised £300.   If you are interested in helping out on one or two Sundays, do contact us. Cream Teas 2008
