🌿 Important Update from Spritely Sustainable CIC 🌿

To our valued followers, partners, and community members,

We hope this message finds you well. Today, we come before you with heavy hearts to share some significant news about Spritely Sustainable CIC. It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of our headquarters at Rufford Abbey Country Park. This decision was not made lightly, nor was it a choice we wished to pursue.

Over the past three months, we've encountered unprecedented challenges at the site which have hindered our ability to operate as usual. Despite these obstacles, our commitment to the Nottinghamshire community remains unwavering. We continue to focus our efforts on the Youth Green Social Prescribing services and our impactful Bloom and Nourish 2024 project, which will now be concentrated in the Arnold area.

We understand this news comes as a surprise, and many of you have questions. While we are navigating through these changes, we want to assure you that our dedication to our mission of fostering sustainable and community-driven initiatives has not diminished. We are actively working on securing a new home for Spritely HQ and are excited about the opportunities this will bring. We promise to share more details as soon as we can.

We want to express our deepest apologies for our recent silence on social media. The challenges we've faced have deeply affected us, both professionally and personally. The creation and development of our Spritely HQ at Rufford Abbey was a labor of love, filled with countless hours of hard work and dedication. It's heartbreaking to part ways under these circumstances.

However, let us look forward with hope and determination. The journey of Spritely Sustainable CIC is far from over. We are incredibly grateful for your support, understanding, and patience during this transitional period. Your continued belief in our vision fuels our resolve to emerge stronger and more committed to our cause.

Thank you for standing with us. Please stay tuned for updates on our journey and the exciting next chapter for Spritely Sustainable CIC. Together, we will continue to make a difference in our community.

With gratitude,

Jess Limbrick
Founder, Spritely Sustainable CIC

Your puzzle piece is waiting for you.

We're sharing the news far and wide that we all have the power to make a difference, it doesn't matter how small, let's all be imperfectly sustainable together.

How it works:
🌿 each child can decorate and write on their puzzle piece to express how they feel about protecting planet earth.
How they may already be taking action, or maybe even write a pledge for the future.

🌿 we will collect each piece to create a huge picture puzzle of everyone's thoughts and feelings about sustainability.

🌿 we will then create an art installation for the whole community to visit.

💚 The children can see their masterpiece on display... making a difference, letting their voice be heard.

Schedule Announcement for Splendour!

Come and find us in the Littles Splendour Area next weekend 💚

With a number of funded projects now finalised we have the opportunity to expand our amazing team.
