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.
'Norfolk's Healthy Environment Day'
An exciting community event that Norwich Friends of the Earth have invited The Papillon Project along to at the Forum in Norwich on Saturday 10th June as part of The Climate Coalition’s Great Big Green Week (www.greatbiggreenweek.com). More information to follow soon.

Below is a little more information about what our workshops are about:
Tool Repair Workshop(s):
Join us for repairing second hand tools for schools and to restock our charity's 'Tool Bank'.! We believe 'secondhandness' sets a good example to young people and is better for the environment too.
Upcycled Craft Workshop:
Join us to learn how to create upcycled crafts and to help us to create products that can be sold to raise funds via our charity shop (The Pap Up Shop).

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

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.
