A Ray of Hope for Earthquake Victims

Sheringham photographer, Chris Taylor, captured the freezing mist of dawn rolling off the land at Cromer which has proved to be a big hit online

Following enquiries to purchase prints Chris has decided to donate 50% of any sales of the print to the Red Cross Turkey-Syria Earthquake appeal

The image was taken using a drone, at the maximum 120m altitude at around 7:30am on Valentine’s Day, as the sun rose and the icy cold mist rolled off the land, obscuring much of Cromer apart from the pier & the church tower Since it was Valentine’s Day it seems appropriate that the image should be used to spread some love and help those suffering the devastating effects of the earthquake in Turkey

"I had been up since 3am, unable to sleep, so after getting some work done, at around 6am (still dark and 2°C outside, I decided to take the drone over to Cromer for sunrise to see what I could get I hadn’t expected the rolling fog and from ground level the visibility was very poor but up in the air the drone captured a different view, one which has captured people’s imagination online with some lovely comments and requests for prints "

It has now been two years since I began working at Age Concern North Norfolk and one of the goals set for me by the trustees was to increase our profile in North Norfolk through expanding our range of networks

I am pleased to say that the services that we offer in our day centre and our meal delivery scheme have become our success story to the extent that we are preparing up to 40 meals per day and we have around 50 people attending sessions across the four days that we are open

Two special events have been held at The Lighthouse recently the Dementia Engagement Day and ‘Sheringham Helps’ which brought the community and general public in to find out about all the support that is on offer in this area We had a stand displaying all our activities which included the Magic Interactive Table and our robotic cat Tabitha (who I could have sold several times over!) While I can acknowledge that the vast majority of organisations represented at these events was well aware of Age Concern North Norfolk, there are still people who do not know what we do or think we are an advice organisation like AgeUK I will continue to write these articles, which go into every household in North Norfolk, as they keep people informed far better than I can ever do on my own

If you are interested to find out more, please contact Alison on 01263 821188.
