on Trent can look forward to a new and improved bus service thanks to support from the county council a revised service 37 and a new 38 will replace the current 339 bus service providing direct links to Retford and Newark This service will still be operated by Marshalls on Mondays to Saturdays These improvements are partly funded by Nottinghamshire County Council’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) These new direct journeys mean there is no longer a need to transfer between buses to reach Retford or Newark and aims to be more reliable than before said: “I’m delighted to see the re-launch of the improved 37 and new 38 service which will make it easier for passengers to get to Retford and Newark particularly those who live in the more rural villages These changes will help to offer a simpler service to passengers with greater reliability.” Operations Assistant at Marshalls said: “The new 37 and 38 timetable means that passengers from our rural communities will no longer have the hassle of changing buses during their journey to Newark and opens up brand new journey opportunities to Retford for passengers living in Cromwell giving people more choice and encouraging even more people to leave the car at home and catch the bus.” Learning and Libraries will begin a new programme to support the health and wellbeing of older people and people experiencing memory loss in two areas of the county through a two-year programme of monthly music titled Healthier Happier Connected Creative is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England in partnership with Live Music Now and Your Health Notts and will break down barriers preventing older people from participating in cultural and community events The Healthier Happier Connected Creative programme will be launching at Inspire’s Libraries in Hucknall and Retford this spring With three different activities each month these friendly group events are specifically designed to meet the needs of older people and people experiencing dementia or memory-loss and their families or carers and will also welcome anyone at risk of social isolation and looking to meet new people The project will combat loneliness and isolation through three strands of cultural and wellbeing outreach Live Music Now’s popular Songs & Scones sessions will be returning to Retford Library and debuting at Hucknall Library as the first element of the Healthier Happier Connected Creative programme focussing on music as a tool for wellbeing community and joy to older people who may otherwise find it difficult to access culture and music events sparking memories and sparking joy through the power of music The second strand of the Healthier Happier Connected Creative programme is Connect & Create which involves unleashing creativity through the artistic process 48 creative wellbeing workshops will be delivered with commissioned artists focussing on the joy of creation rather than on perfecting a finished piece artists will encourage collaboration and community and invite people to just enjoy the process because who says kids get to have all the fun Inspire is currently searching for the first two creatively curious artists to deliver Connect & Create wellbeing visual arts workshops from May 2025 – April 2026 and applications close at 9am on Monday 14 April The third strand of the Healthier Happier Connected Creative programme is Mind & Movement which will concentrate on promoting health and wellbeing through physical activity and accessible health information and support Inspire’s partners at Your Health Notts will deliver opportunities for socialising exercise and age-relevant health information Valuing the health and wellbeing of older people in Nottinghamshire is an important step in itself and Inspire and its partners hope that providing these workshops and offering age-related health support will build confidence and break down barriers facilitating older people’s participation in arts “Inspire is excited to host accessible community and wellbeing events at Hucknall and Retford Libraries We are grateful to Arts Council England for funding this important programme and we’re looking forward to working with independent artists alongside our incredible partners at Live Music Now and Your Health Notts to bring joy to people who may feel isolated within their communities Inspire is always keen to include all of Nottinghamshire’s residents in arts and culture and this project ensures that there’s no limit to those who can be inspired by what we have to offer!” More information about Healthier Happier Connected Creative can be found at inspireculture.org.uk/HealthierHappier Learning and Libraries programme: Healthier Happier Connected
