Three Local Food Festivals have now been held promoting our own
local farmers and encouraging families and schoolchildren to have a
go at growing food too. Our third was held on Sept 17th!

We have worked with young people through local schools and the
Brownies
The Brownies made about 25 nest boxes in February this year and
in May planted seedlings and seeds to exhibit at the Food
Festival!

Children from All Saints Ranton came to learn about energy
issues, fossil fuels, climate change and melting ice caps and polar

Village Hall IT project
Another consultation exercise last October revealed support for
introducing IT facilities at the Village Hall so we have
recently installed broadband and bought two laptops. The 100 we won
in the Green Awards last year has helped to fund this project.
Our village IT heroes,
Charlotte and Peter have been
holding one to one support
sessions since January,
helping people learn how to
email, use the internet,
write a CV etc.
Derrington Way Ahead!
We have been asked to give loads of talks and presentations and
our project has been used as a case study and example of good
practice by many organisations.
All we do is detailed on the web-pages hosted by the Village
Hall website and we promote the project through the Church and
Village Magazine, through fliers and posters and the village
grapevine.
We have been proud to receive several awards and thankful to
have received grant funding from several sponsors.
Most recently we have successfully bid for 22,000 funding from
Leader CMB for the project we are looking at today!
