Do your bit for the
NSPCC and volunteer in Suffolk’s schools
IF you’ve been thinking about giving up your free time to help children but have never got around to it, you are in luck, because the NSPCC in Suffolk needs you. The children’s charity is on
the look-out for new volunteers to help deliver its Speak Out Stay Safe service in primary schools in the county. The programme gives a gen-
eration of children the knowl- edge and understanding they need to stay safe from abuse and neglect through age-appropriate safeguarding assemblies and workshops. Pupils are taught to speak out
if they are worried, either to a trusted adult or to Childline.
Katy Cole, Schools Service
Area Coordinator, said: “We have had children who have spo- ken out about abuse as a direct result of our volunteers going into schools delivering the pro- gramme. It is so rewarding for the volunteers to know they have directly helped a child, and we give every one of them excellent training so they know how to manage these situations. I really admire that the volunteers give up their time to make a differ- ence to the lives of children.” To apply to become a volun-
teer, visit our website at www.

CHRISTMAS CARD SHOP OPENS IN ALDEBURGH SUPPORTING A WIDE RANGE OF CHARITIES
THE festive season gets under way in Aldeburgh when the Cards for Good Causes pop- up charity Christmas card shop opens in Aldeburgh on October 11th. Buying Christmas cards through Cards for Good Causes is the best way to get access to the widest selection of Christ- mas cards available, as well as a fantastic range of seasonal gifts and products, while supporting a range of national charities. The Aldeburgh pop-up shop

choose from hundreds of differ- ent Christmas card designs, as well as traditional advent cal- endars and candles, wrapping paper, gift tags, napkins and stocking fillers. Mary Cronin, Area Organ-
iser for Cards for Good Causes says: “Buying charity Christ- mas cards is one of the simplest ways to support good causes this festive season and we stock one of the widest ranges of Christmas cards anywhere. The proceeds from every card or product sold make a vital contribution to the work of the charities that we partner. Come
and find us in Aldeburgh Li- brary, Victoria Road and get ahead in your Christmas prepa- rations by getting your cards early.” In the past ten years, chari-
ties have received more than £40 million from Cards for Good Causes, representing at least 70p in every pound, out of which the charities pay for the production and distribution of their Christmas cards and any VAT.

Pearls from The Grit – the most easterly fishing village rises again
PEARLS from The Grit is the entertaining new show tour- ing nine performances to six venues across Suffolk this au- tumn. Written by Dean Parkin, the show is part of a year-long Heritage Lottery funded project about Lowestoft’s almost for- gotten fishing village known as The Grit. In the early 1900s Lowestoft
was one of the country’s leading tourist resorts and a top fishing port with a population of 23,000. The Grit — home to 2,300 peo- ple, three schools, churches, shops and 13 pubs — was the most easterly point in the coun- try, right next to the North Sea. What made it such a special com- munity and place to live and why did it disappear in the 1960s? Using the words of his great
friend Jack Rose as a guide, writ- er and poet Dean Parkin travels back in time to piece the story together. Audiences will meet no-nonsense fisherman, old Ned; Billy, a larger-than-life skipper during Lowestoft’s fishing boom; and Ruby (Billy’s daugh-
ter), one of the tireless taskforce of women keeping the fishing industry afloat. At the ‘pub’ piano, ‘Tickler’ Sam will pro- vide live music throughout. ‘Pearls from The Grit’ is directed by Alys Kihl from Wonderful Beast, narrated by Dean Parkin, and the professional cast com- prises Sally-Ann Burnett (Ruby), Tim FitzHigham (Billy) and David Redgrave (Ned), with original songs and incidental music composed and performed by pianist Maurice Horhut. The hour-long performance is
touring late September, early October to Seagull Theatre in Lowestoft, Museum of East Anglia Life, Stowmarket, The Cut Arts Centre, Halesworth, Avenue Theatre, Ipswich, Long Shop Museum, Leiston and back to Lowestoft to the Bethel The- atre – formerly known as the Lowestoft Sailors’ and Fisher- men’s Bethel, opened in 1899 to serve the booming fishing com- munity – and Christ Church Halls (attached to The Grit’s own fishermen’s parish church). With
a special afternoon performance for some of the primary school children who’ve contributed to the script and the soundtrack, the shows are for project partici- pants, schools and the general public, with tickets priced at £6.50, £4 for under 16s. 20 years ago, Dean Parkin and
Jack Rose – fisherman, lifeboat- man and local legend known as ‘Mr Lowestoft’ – co-wrote their best-selling book, ‘The Grit’. Out of print for many years, a new revised and redesigned edi- tion will be published in spring 2019. Go to www.poetrypeople.
co.uk for further ticketing infor- mation or call 01986 872033. The Lowestoft beach popula-
tion is in every sense of the term a peculiar people. They acquire a sturdy independence of charac- ter and are generally speaking a quiet unobtrusive class of per- sons, but when the latent ‘Viking’ spirit is aroused in their breasts, they are like the ocean in a storm. The Lowestoft Journal, 1903.

Salter & King, Aldeburgh Great Opportunity
Holiday at Home in Aldeburgh
NOW in its seventh year, HOLIDAY at Home is a joint project run by Parish Nursing at Aldeburgh Baptist Church, Aldeburgh Parish Church and Catholic Church and is held at Fairfield Centre in Aldeburgh. It is primarily intended to pro- vide fun and friendship in the summer for the elderly (for those who do not have a holiday for whatever reason) and for those who miss the friendship that the lunch clubs provide for the rest of the year. After another successful three
day event this August, it is hoped to run again next year. The three days of activities included chair exercise, craft work, lunch, afternoon tea and homemade
cakes, a sing along with the Ukelele group, manicures, table games, an amazing magician, foot care to name but a few. There is a small charge which includes activities, food and transport. This event is open to all. Further details of next year’s event will be available nearer the time. See our website www.
aldeburghbaptistchurch.com The comments from one par-
ticipant of Holiday at Home 2018: “I have just returned from my
first ‘Holiday at Home’. It was brilliant .... For me the most amazing thing was the co-oper- ation and co-ordination and the planning of such details.....”
