Veterans help King's Lynn school pupils make Remembrance bird boxes
Members of the Bridge For Heroes Armed Forces charity worked with students from the Greyfriars Academy to make the colourful boxes.
Veterans have teamed up with primary school children in King's Lynn to make special Remembrance bird boxes, which will be going up in The Walks.
Members of the Bridge For Heroes Armed Forces charity worked with students from the Greyfriars Academy to make the colourful boxes.
Bridge For Heroes, which is based in Nelson House on the North Lynn Industrial Estate, was set up to provide local veterans with activities like carpentry, art and photograph.
Ten boxes were made and decorated by the children.
Janet Moyle, Deputy Head of Greyfriars Academy in King’s Lynn, said “We were only too willing to accept the Bridge For Heroes offer to allow our students to decorate the bird boxes with the poppies in this week when we remember our fallen.
"We now look forward to seeing them in use in the spring by our wild bird population.”
West Norfolk Councillor Harry Humphrey said: “It was a really kind gesture by the Bridge For Heroes veterans to make the boxes and brilliant to get the young students from Greyfriars School, which backs on to the park, to decorate them so appropriately in this week of Remembrance.
"I look forward to seeing the brightly coloured bird boxes in The Walks.”
