Martham Village Litter Pick

A big thank you to village volunteers for joining our Councillors in our litter pick effort in April. We’re also grateful to the many village heroes who tell us that they regularly pick up rubbish while out on walks all year round. We all truly appreciate you taking care of our village.

May Defibrillator Fundraising via Heart2Heart Norfolk

Thank you all for supporting this first event help fund defibs and their upkeep in Martham. We raised £252.95 from sales of books and jigsaws, donated by the community in Martham and other villages. Thank you to everyone who supported this with donations and visiting us on the day. Flegg High school had a successful day too, and raised £594 towards their own public access defibrillator, they have 2 more events this year. James Chapman has kindly donated a defib to be sited at Broadland Sports and intends to fundraise for us. Let us know your fundraising ideas!
