At North Walsham Phoenix Group, we believe in the power of partnership. Over the past year, we’ve opened our doors to a growing network of organisations that share our commitment to community support, wellbeing, and resilience.

Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected North Walsham — one drop-in, advice session, and chat at a time.

We’re proud to host:

• YAB (Youth Advisory Board): Weekly Youth Club
• Lloyds Bank: Weekly Community Banker
• Norfolk Community Law Service: Monthly Legal Advice Session
• Tech Skills for Life: Monthly Digital Help Drop-in
• Family Hubs: Monthly Family Support Drop-in

These sessions bring vital services directly into the heart of our town, helping people access the support they need — without the stress of long travel or confusing systems.

Whether you’re looking for legal advice, tech support, family help, or just a safe space to relax and connect, there’s something here for you.

A huge thank you to all our partners for helping us make the Phoenix building more than just a space — but a hub of warmth, welcome, and possibility.

Looking smart shouldn’t come at a high cost, so we launched a free school uniform giveaway working with North Walsham Community Shop.

Thanks to generous donations from local residents, we were able to offer pre-loved, good-quality school uniforms to families in need, completely free of charge. From shirts and trousers to jumpers and summer dresses, this small gesture helped parents save money and ensured children could start the school year with confidence.

Every child deserves to feel ready to learn and we’re proud to be part of making that happen.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated and helped us turn this idea into reality.

Over the past year, Victory Leisure Centre has helped us keep the North Walsham community moving and fed.

Thanks to their generosity, our members benefited from free guest passes, giving them the chance to stay active, social, and well, all without cost. During the school holidays, their packed lunches ensured children had access to nourishing food even when school kitchens were closed.

This kind of partnership makes a real difference, helping us support health and wellbeing year-round.

Thank you to Everyone Active and the fantastic team at Victory for being such a valued part of our community.

Thanks to your generosity we collected more than 100 kg of groceries for North Norfolk Foodbank, bringing vital support. Every tin, packet and box was a reminder of the strength of our community when we pull together.

The Impact

• Immediate relief: Supplies for households in need
• Community spirit: neighbours helping neighbours

A huge thank-you to everyone who donated. Your kindness makes a real difference here in North Walsham.

Last year, we handed out free seed packets and you returned the favour with homegrown goodness.

From tomatoes and courgettes to apples and beans, the generosity of local growers filled our community pantry with fresh, healthy produce. Each donation helped ease food costs and added variety to the meals.

Whether you planted a few pots on a windowsill or harvested from a full allotment, your contributions truly mattered.

Thank you for growing, giving, and making our community stronger.

Here’s to another season of sowing and sharing!
