Next planned beach huts to be made available are in Hastings, where, following last weekends conversation with Jack-the-Beach who lives in his beach hut there, I'm seeking to learn from the experience of a local convent in making two beach huts available to certain members of the wider community.
After establishing what stops more beach-huts being lent out by owners in Hastings and Whitstable, I intend to cycle all along the South Coast and the North Norfolk Coast with a leaflet that will include the wording:
Whatever you want, ask to borrow it.
Whatever you have to share, offer it.
Gain friends and build trust locally.
freelender.orgI'll be undertaking a recruitment tour of beach huts in August 2010 and am looking for partners in this project -walkers, cyclists, trust funds, charities who see the value of beach huts shared with others for respite care etc (eg Favoured charities Mencap/ Mind)
