As you may have seen on our socials, last weekend King’s Lynn Youth Project battled the rain to walk 15 miles from King’s Lynn to Heacham! Sophie & Libby, our Arts Engagement Worker & Community Producer who run the group were also walking it to raise funds for our SMILES for Big Breaks campaign 💙. Both know the difference that the Big Breaks programme can make to young people and the need there is for it currently. Please head to www.theworkshop.org.uk/support - donations are guaranteed to make their legs stop aching (apparently!)
