HEART BEAT - Defibrillator for Bircham - Grant Success
The Parish Council worked with Bircham Social Club and East Anglian Ambulance Service to install a defibrillator for the benefit and peace of mind of residents. Grant funding was secured to cover the purchase of the defibrillator and heated cabinet. The unit and a second privately funded unit at the Village shop have now been installed.

BIRCHAM IN BLOOM
An initiative to improve the parish was launched in 2018. Parish Councillors and volunteers signed up to Anglian In Bloom in 2019 and after judging the Parish was awarded a SILVER. Planting around the Village Sign and the War Memorial has been carried out for the first time, there were also baskets at the Bus Shelter. Due to Covid there was no competition in 2020 but the Parish has enjoyed lots of Spring bulbs and summer blooms including two new rose beds.
