The RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch is taking place between 29th and 31st January. Why not enjoy an hour with nature and discover the wildlife on your doorstep! Taking part is easy - just spend an hour counting the birds you see in your garden, from your balcony or in your local park, then tell the RSPB what you saw. It really is that simple! The great thing is that you never know what birds you might see. Will you enjoy a flock of fluffed-up long-tailed tits, will you be charmed by a group of goldfinches or will a cheeky robin steal the show? Experts from across the UK will be bringing you photos, footage and facts about the birds they see, as well as answering any questions you may have. Plus, there’ll be live quizzes, and familiar faces throughout the weekend – all set to make this the best Birdwatch ever! Be sure to take some snaps of the beauties you see during your Birdwatch. Take a look at award-winning photographer Ben Andrew’s advice to help you get the perfect picture every time. Share your shots on social with #BigGardenBirdwatch. Sign up online at rspb.org.uk for all you need to take part, including your free guide, help with identifying what you see and expert advice on feeding the birds. Plus, you’ll also receive 20% off in the RSPB shop and free delivery.
We're very excited to announce our first ever Sew-cially Distant session. Led by the fabulous Denise and Donna, this sociable sewing event will talk you through the first patchworking steps of inspiration, drafting and learning some new stitching techniques so you can create your very own personal patchwork piece to add to our Palace Theatre centenary quilt. The event will take place over Zoom and pre-booking is essential. Book before 10am on Wednesday 27th January and ensure you include your address in order to receive your free pack of materials and designs.
Due to the current national guidance, we are unable to hold our regular information evenings at present. During this time we are instead holding regular virtual events via Microsoft Teams with a short presentation from a recruitment worker and a question and answer session at the end. We will also be joined by a foster carer who can share their experiences of fostering for Nottinghamshire County Council. To join the meeting, simply click on the link below at the start time of the meeting and we will admit you once we are ready to start! You can email us at fostering@nottscc.gov.uk or find us on Facebook (facebook.com/fosternotts) to learn more.
