Better Together helped communities celebrate the Platinum Jubilee Weekend in several ways.
One of our community volunteers made 500 crochet hearts, which were issued, to pre- and primary school children in Harleston. Recipients included pupils at Harleston Primary Academy and all preschool children in Harleston. Some have also been given to local childminders and shops in the town that had a Jubilee display.
There was also a Commemoration book made by volunteers from the local art group. This was circulated within the community and was present at the Jubilee Weekend Picnic in the park in Harleston for people to add their message of congratulations to the Queen.
The ‘All Together Cafe’, which seeks to help tackle loneliness and social isolation in the area, was also present at the Jubilee Picnic and volunteers spent time chatting with people. Everyone had a great time, lots of intergenerational cake eating and memory sharing took place.
