Shop staff and volunteers were rewarded for their community spirit after being crowned joint-winners of a Jubilee competition. The contest was for the best dressed window in Sheringham and East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) shared the prize with The Sitting Room tearoom and Sadlers Court. It was jointly organised by Sheringham Town Council and Sheringham Carnival Committee as part of the town’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, which included a street party in High Street and Station Road and took place on Sunday afternoon. There were also prizes for the best dressed table and best dressed home. EACH sales assistant Paul Watson said: “It was great to get in the spirit and be a part of Sheringham’s celebrations. “We were very proud of our shop window and the staff and volunteers made it look truly stunning. “To be named as one of the joint-winners of the competition was fantastic and a fitting reward for their hard work.” The contest was judged by Sheringham Mayor Peter Ratcliffe, councillor Madeleine Ashcroft and Sheringham Carnival Committee member Sarah Peberday. EACH, which supports families and cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions, has 19 shops in Norfolk, as well as others scattered across Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk. It has three hospices, including The Nook, in Framingham Earl.
