Burntwood WI Create a Splash at Princes Park

As part of the national Women’s Institute’s Great Big Green Week, Burntwood WI have created a display at Princes Park raising awareness of the need for clean rivers. The park has been decorated with fabrics and handmade fish which the members of Burntwood WI have created using funds from Burntwood Town Council’s Better Burntwood Fund.

Cllr Sue Woodward, Vice Chair of Burntwood Town Council said:

“It was lovely to spend time with the members of Burntwood WI, clearly a very active and creative group of women who care deeply about wider issues across the UK. The display, which is both beautiful and great fun, will hopefully get people thinking about the cleanliness of our rivers and so bring greater awareness of the need for all of us to raise our voices.

They have spent their grant from BTC in an unusual way and have certainly made a splash! Thanks to all of them.”
