Haughton’s young people are involved with the BKV and Britain in Bloom initiatives. Haughton Brownie Pack has contributed by creating an attractive red, white and blue floral dinghy planter to celebrate Olympic boat races and Haughton Sunday School used the churchyard wildlife area as a resource for inspiring seed planting and pot painting as part of their New life project.
