Discount supermarket to open in North Walsham

· ·

A discount supermarket will open in North Walsham after a local charity was awarded £27,000 funding.

North Walsham Phoenix Group have been granted the money from the Norfolk Community Foundation through the Nourishing Norfolk Fund to support the creation of a low-cost community supermarket in the former Barclays building on the town’s Market Place.

Mal Gray, chairman of North Walsham Phoenix Group, said: “We are pleased to have the support of Nourishing Norfolk to be able to bring this social supermarket to the heart of our town.

“We want everyone to have access to affordable nutritional food.”

A low-cost, community supermarket will open in the former Barclays building, on North Walsham Market Place, now home to local charity the North Walsham Phoenix Group.

The Phoenix Group is a North Walsham charity, aiming to bring vital services and support to the town and district.

Renovation work on the Barclays building began in early September and aims to be complete at the end of the year.

The space will boast a cafe area, a recording studio in the old bank vault and an accessible toilet open to the public.

The plans for the upper floors are yet to be revealed.

Lucy Shires, county councillor for North Walsham East said: “As our communities begin to feel the impact of the cost of living crisis, we hope that this supermarket will ease some of the financial pressures that residents face.

“We don’t want people to have to choose between heating and eating.”

The supermarket will be hosted on the ground floor of the building next to a café area.

Claire Cullens, chief executive of the Norfolk Community Foundation, said: “Norfolk Community Foundation is delighted to support this much needed project that will make a real difference in the community.

“We wish them every success with their work.”

Exciting News: Our Stairwell Gets a Makeover

· ·

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you all! Our two-storey stairwell, a central feature of our building, is currently undergoing a much-anticipated makeover. This promises to bring a fresh, vibrant look to this space that connects our floors and will serve as a hub of daily activity.

The decision to revitalise the stairwell at this point comes from the news that the renovations on the top floor are almost complete! We understand the importance of a welcoming atmosphere, and this renovation aims to enhance both the functionality and the visual appeal of this key area.
