The Thurston and Ixworth Flyer Febuary 2023 edition
Welcome to the February 2023 edition of The Thurston and Ixworth Flyer. In this February edition of the Thurston and Ixworth Flyer we have news about the Ixworth ACF. And we also have updates from local clubs and community news.
Ixworth ACF
Did you know that it costs just £15 to enroll your child in army cadets. Subs are 50p per week. All uniform is supplied aside from boots and camps at £15
for a weekend of activities and all food and refreshments included.
Plus we have additional activities that the kids can get involved with like sailing, water sports, shooting, adventure training, climbing, archery. All of these extra breaks are heavily subsidised. An AT week in wales costs around £60 for a full week of activities and all good and refreshments provided.
Sign your kids up from age 12 to 18 and develop their life skills and education.
West Suffolk Council
Cllr Griffiths who is also leader of the Council. Said: “West Suffolk Council is committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030. But we are also working to support our residents and businesses in helping themselves and our environment as well. Part of that work includes helping them reduce their energy use or switch to renewables.
Through Warm Home Suffolk we are already providing free help for people in low-income homes with a low energy efficiency. Stay warmer for longer while using their heating less often.
“Through our families and communities work, which includes Community Chest grants and locality budgets. We are also backing the work of community groups and other organisations to help residents across West Suffolk through this incredibly challenging time.
“The Home Energy Campaign by Green Ixworth is one example of this. It’s a community-led initiative that I hope will be of real benefit to residents in the local area, and as local ward councillor I am pleased to be able to give it my support.”
The Home Energy Campaign by Green Ixworth
Roger Spiller from Green Ixworth said: “The group set up in 2020 to help protect and improve our natural and built environment and to improve the health. And well-being of people in the Ixworth area. The cost of living and rising energy bills represents a huge challenge. And this initiative will support residents in reducing their energy costs and helping the environment at the same time. And the practical advice we are offering will help the climate and the residents’ pockets.
We are delighted to have the support of Cllr Griffiths and West Suffolk Council. And would encourage everyone to come along to the launch event on Saturday to find out more about how we can help you.”
