Excited to be sharing more from our new Place Champion Kirsty Noble, owner of BLÜM Floral very soon...

And we're off! Yesterday we launched the consultation phase for a new mural coming to South Normanton, inviting residents of all ages to meet and speak with artists, describe and doodle their ideas, and try their hand at spray painting. Spreading the word of this exciting project and opportunity to come together as a community to celebrate what makes them feel proud. Later this month, in partnership with Black Shale cultural education partnership, we'll be heading into the village nursery school, youth club and junior school to support young people's voices to be at the heart of this work, too. Bolsover UK project funded by UK Government in partnership with Dragonfly Management (Bolsover) Ltd in partnership with South Normanton Parish Council and Ant and Izzy Graffwerk #culturaleducationpartnership #Derbyshire #community
