An update from Dr Dan Poulter
Summer is without a doubt my favourite season, not least of all because it means that I can spend more time at my home in Suffolk and enjoying all that we love about this great county. From the swathes of farmland, open skies and vibrant market towns to the local produce markets, village fetes and independent retailers, I particularly relish the opportunity to get out and about meeting so many of you and supporting our local businesses, community events and local food producers. So much work goes into the many school and community fetes that take place through the summer months, with community volunteers working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring everything to fruition. Thank you for all that you do to make our villages and communities so special.

support – it is most welcome and is proof of how much the local community appreciate the work HEM volunteers do to ensure there are Christmas Lights in Halesworth every year, some local towns do not have the volunteers and local support that Halesworth have and are therefore unable to raise the necessary money to put up lights and hold a switch-on event.Onthe same day, HEM held a raffle and a very popular lucky dip in the Thoroughfare and again many thanks to everyone for their support, it raised approximately £200 for our funds.

At the end of the morning a magnificent £472.84 had been raised which is a tribute to all the hard work put in by Annette and her team. They are hoping to boost this at their next bingo night to get the total up £500. HEM would like to thank Annette and her team for their hard work and

We are hoping to be able to find somewhere to place a bench in or near the central car park, so our passengers do not have to spend a long time on their feet waiting for the bus. We will be speaking to local Councillors to see if they can help us with this as many people have expressed a desire to have somewhere to sit while waiting for the Hoppa to arrive.
After the scheduled programme, the two singers were called back for an encore by the appreciative audience.
Finally, we're very pleased to welcome back Shirley Woolterton who was a Bus Buddy on the Day Centre bus for many years before taking a break. Bus buddies help with loading heavy shopping onto the bus, and even taking it to people's doors when we get them home. It's a service that is much appreciated and something we couldn't offer without our fantastic buddies.
There are always bargains to be had at our jumble sales so please come and have a browse.
We will be serving tea/coffee and cakes when you need a sit down and a rest. We are very grateful for donations so please call me to arrange collection of items you may have. Unfortunately, we cannot take electrical items or large items of furniture etc. As always please don't leave jumble items outside the village hall as we only hire the hall on the day so are unaware of things left there.

Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who supported the fun-filled Woodbridge Historic Riverside Festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend. Here at the The Longshed, as part of the festival, we hosted a sell-out 'Sea Shanties' supper evening, featuring the "Rum Old Boys" who put heart and soul into ensuring we had a great evening, telling us about the origins of the shanties and ensuring we joined in the choruses with gusto! Many thanks to the Rum Old Boys, to the team of helpers who produced an excellent supper, and to all the other helpers behind the scenes who made the evening possible.
