What is the film No Straight Lines about?

No Straight Lines has been a film that has spent many years in the making. Directed and produced by Louis Johnson, No Straight Lines is a documentary film that captures the experiences of many teachers and young people (all from different schools) at their school allotment and serves very much as a celebration of all that has been achieved by secondary schools in Norfolk to date.

Workshops

You might like to 'DIY' (Do It Yourself) when it comes to fundraising for The Papillon Project? Below are some amazing examples:

Debbie's South West Path 630 mile charity walk (currently happening!)

Debbie Palmer, one of the Trustees of The Papillon Project is walking 630 miles along the South West Coast Path and sleeping in a tent along the way! It's an extraordinary undertaking and we wish Debbie all the very best! If you would like to sponsor Debbie you can do so via her JustGiving page (please click here). All donations that are kindly made go to support our charitable work!

Sunflower growing competition

Huge thanks to amazing people like Frances in North West Norfolk who have organised a sunflower growing competition with proceedings going to support the charitable work of The Papillon Project:

 

Charity walk

This could be an individual or a group event to help raise funds for the charity. In July/August of 2021, charity founder, Matt Willer, walked the entire length of The Peddars Way (46 miles) from Thetford to Holme-next-the-Sea in two days and all totally barefoot! He raised over £10,000 for the charity. Please click here to read more.
