We are really looking forward to attending Planet Positive at Sparrows nest this weekend, an event put on by Lowestoft Town Council.

Does anyone have 4 gazebo weights we can have/borrow please? :) the alternative is we have someone holding each corner for the day, although we may look a bit silly 😉

We have some gorgous glass pieces available to buy now in the Scrapstore gift cabinet – a perfect gift for that person who has everything!

But what’s even better? Making it yourself!

We have limited spaces on our 4-week starter course beginning this Wednesday 17th September at 10:30am. As the saying goes, don’t try to walk before you can run – so while this isn’t a first-timer’s project, it’s definitely something to work towards! Drop us a message for more info.

Not quite ready to commit to 4 weeks? We’ve got 3 spaces left for our Monday morning fused glass session from 10:30–12:00. A great taster if you're just starting out!

Scrapstore opening times
10:00 - 14:00 Wednesday & Saturday

📢 Emergency Alert Test – This Sunday at 3 PM
There will be a nationwide emergency alert test this Sunday at 3:00 PM.

✅ Alerts are automatically turned ON on most phones.
⚠️ You can turn them off, but it’s recommended to keep them enabled for safety.

Please let your friends, family, and neighbours know, especially anyone who might be unaware or sensitive to loud alerts.

⏰🚨 Don't forget - there will be an Emergency Alert Test on Sunday 7 September at 3pm.

This week, I met with the Minister responsible to discuss the steps this Government have taken to ensure victims of domestic abuse in particular are aware of the test, given they may have an additional safe device.
