Have we all lost our connection with the wild? The important lessons to be learned there? The play to be enjoyed? The vital top-up of Vitamin D? Luke Funnell and his team at Project Rewild feels passionately about our connection with the ‘outside world’ – and offers opportunities for both children and adults to experience and explore how it feels to run, dance, play and learn in our beautiful natural environments. HOT’s Zelly Restorick asks Luke why he feels so strongly about this issue.
St Leonards and Hastings have gone crazy for The Owl and the Pussy-cat as the ATownExploresABook21 Crowdfunder enters its last few days. HOT’s Erica Smith asks us all to give generously.
Stuart Christie, a memorable former Hastings resident, died last weekend at the age of 74. Nick Terdre remembers a remarkable man and friend.
Under the all-encompassing veil of Coronavirus and the collective pain and fear, this has brought to people, something remarkable and heart-warming is happening… quiet footpaths are becoming well-trodden, previously secret hideaways are now being explored, the sound of children’s laughter is drifting through the woods as naturally as the sound of the blackbird’s song. Hastings is rewilding. Luke Funnell, the founder of Project Rewild tells us about his exciting new project.
