Ever wondered what flies off the shelves quickest in our community pantry?

According to our stats from May to October 2024, the most popular item last month was… Jaffa Cakes! 🍊🍫

Topping the chart with a big jump in October, they were clearly a favourite treat as the weather started to turn.

Also high up the list were Bourbon Creams, Pink Wafers, and Puffed Snacks, showing that a little sweetness goes a long way.

Come see what’s on offer this week—there’s always something new to try!

🥫☕️ We’re open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 10am–4pm.

🤩 We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Norfolk NHS Health Checks, who will be offering free appointments in our building on Tuesday 26th November.

❤️ As we get older, our risk of developing health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, or Type 2 diabetes increases.

An NHS Health Check is designed to catch the warning signs early and help you stay healthier for longer.

👉 If you’re aged 40–74, you could be eligible for a free check.

Visit www.norfolkhealthchecks.reedwellbeing.com

or call 0808 175 0413 to check your eligibility and book an appointment.

📚 “Sophie found she couldn’t have her bath because the tiger had drunk all the water in the tap.”

Recognise that quote? It’s from The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr—a classic many of us remember from childhood.

This month, we’re asking: What’s the first book you remember reading?

Was it one that made you laugh? Sparked your imagination? Maybe even got you hooked on books for life?

We’d love to hear your memories. Pop in and tell us over a cuppa!

🥫☕️ We’re open 10am–4pm, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
