This project brought together a local authority, Essex, a community, Fingringhoe in Essex and a host of contractors to "do their bit" in the project. The real expertise of the contractors, the commitment of Essex LA (county officers gave their own time to paint and help), the agency of the children, the excitement of their teachers and the wonderful leadership of their then head, Suzy Ryan all combined to make a remarkable difference. Suzy offered at one stage a simple diagram showing the impact this one classroom had had across the community.
