Our very own superhero Rupert has arranged a beach clean TODAY, meeting outside the Jubilee Café at 2pm. Please come along and help him make our beach sparkle ❤️

Rupert is also hoping to raise a bit of money for the Marine Conservation Society if you’ve got any spare pennies that would be willing to donate to his worthy cause, this would be amazing.

Keith from Our Precious Earth is also coming along to support and help sort the rubbish and recycling afterwards.

Rupert loves the beach and marine life and is quite passionate about protecting it 🥰 🐟 🐚 🏝️

Well done Rupert ❤️

Dunster First School's Christmas Bingo night at the barn was an unforgettable experience!

The event not only brought everyone together but also raised a remarkable amount to enrich the children's learning experiences. We're grateful for the opportunity to host such wonderful community events.
