🌊 Freedom of Sheringham Awarded to Coastguard Rescue Team 🌊

Sheringham Town Council is delighted to announce that the Sheringham Coastguard Rescue Team has been awarded the Freedom of Sheringham, one of the town's highest civic honours.

The award recognises the team's outstanding dedication, professionalism and service to our community. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, these volunteers leave their homes, workplaces and families at a moment's notice to respond to emergencies along our coastline.

In 2025 alone, the ten-member team responded to nearly 100 incidents, including water rescues, cliff rescues, searches for missing people, casualty care incidents and responses to unexploded ordnance. Their commitment to protecting both residents and visitors makes them an invaluable part of life in Sheringham.

At the presentation ceremony, Mayor Cllr Sue Brisbane praised the team for their dedication and recognised not only the current members but also the generations of Coastguard Rescue Officers who have served our town and coastline over many years.

Sheringham Town Council extends its sincere congratulations and thanks to all past and present members of the Sheringham Coastguard Rescue Team on this well-deserved honour. 👏

🚨 Interested in becoming a Coastguard Rescue Officer?

The team is currently recruiting volunteers and is inviting anyone interested in learning more to meet them at Sheringham Fire Station on Saturday 28 November from 1.30pm.

Volunteers help respond to cliff and water rescues, searches for missing people and emergency casualty care incidents, making a real difference in our community while becoming part of a supportive and dedicated team.

💬💙 Sheringham’s first Chatty Bench has arrived! 💙💬

Today, Sheringham Town Council proudly launched our first Chatty Bench outside the Post Office on the High Street (close to the Clock Tower), in partnership with the National Anchor Scheme.

The idea is simple but incredibly important: a bench where anyone can sit, chat and connect. Whether you’re looking for a friendly conversation, want to meet someone new, or simply fancy a chat while enjoying the town, this is a space where everyone is welcome. 🪑😊

We were delighted by the warm and positive reception the bench received today, with lots of interest and encouraging feedback from local residents and visitors. It was fantastic to see people already embracing the idea and recognising the difference that a small opportunity to connect can make.

Loneliness and social isolation can affect anyone, and initiatives like this help create a town where people feel connected, included and part of their community.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support the launch, and to the National Anchor Scheme for helping us bring this initiative to Sheringham.

We hope this is the first of many opportunities to stop, sit and have a chat. ❤️
