November Poppy Appeal
The con]niunity centre helped the community to bring the poppies to Netherfield after a
disastrous 2023 whereby there was no lamppost poppies or displays. Out went an appeal and tlie community came together,
knitting crocheting, fund raising and plywood poppy making. Together we raised over £250 to Purchase new lamp-post
poppies. Further funding from Cllr Hunt & Cllr Whiting was approved via their GBC Borough pot to buy supplies for the
plywood poppies. David Mellors inade the large ply poppies, painted and added to a slake wbicli saw them mounted in St
George's Church already for Remembrance Day. It made ali aniazing siglit wÉth many stopping to take pictures or to have the
pictures taken. Children ran in between the poppies and the shouts of glee and laU￿lter really made you smile. The small
band of ladies who helped to produce over 1000 poppies came from tlie Loco Centre Knit & Natter group, led by Louise
Lindley and her Mum Sandra Fretwell. They helped to attach the poppies lo the netting all ready to go up onlo the railing at
St George's Centre. NeiherField did not forget the fallen hero in 2024. There are plans to extend the poppies on tlie nelling
for 20?5 to see them up on the town centre railings. The local Fire Brigade helped to put up the poppies on the lamppost,
tlie bacon butties and a cuppa helped them on their way.
Xnias Liglil Switch on
Through Town Centre UKSPF funding we worked with the GBC Cllr Hunt to provide the
con]munity with a cracking light switch on. The stage enabled the primary school children to sing their hearts out, to tbeir
families. The lights in Nedierfield brighten the place up putting a smile on everyone's face. Once the lights can]e on the
public came down to the St George's Centre to be greeted by Santa's elves guidtng everyone to see Santa and his sleigh, The
Gedling Round Table Iielped with providing Ibe Santa sleigh and the Carlton Rotary provided a Santa. We collected gifts
for the childreii through-out the year wrapped ready for Santa to give out to all cliildren froin babies up to teenagers. Free
Hot Chocolate and Mulled wine was handed out to keep everyone wann while queuitLg for Santa. The line went all the way
down to the Loco Centre, amazing amount of support Iron] the Community enabling us lo raise a record amount of
fundraising to fmish tbe year off nicely. We believe we have tbe best community and are grateful for all they do.
Xmas meals were delivered these differently this year, providing a cooked Christn]as dinner and pudding on certain days
enabling smaller groups lo meet and eat. We did enjoy the retun] of the Yoga ladies, the walkers and many conununity
members. This was the last of our events in December. What a great way to end off 2024.
Loco Youth Centre
We would neveT have thought that the relocation of the Loco Centre would have provided so many opportunities to the
community at large. The growth in the usage is phenomenal. operating 7 days a week along with 5 evenings a week
dedicated to Youth Activities.
All the groups have seen an increase in numbers, many with waiting lists as they are thll.
The forurn continues to support thern wÉth low rental income. This provides the groups opportunities to grow their
equipnienl and experiences for the children and young people who attend their session.
Altemalive schools Still use the building to deliver one lo one teaching through cooking or creative work. These young
people are given skills to help them Teach thetr full potential and open doors for them when tbey are Teady lo transition lo the
adult world.
