As the festive season approaches, we want to let our community know that North Walsham Phoenix Group will be closed from Friday 20th December and will reopen on Thursday 2nd January.

We’re taking this time to rest, recharge, and spend time with loved ones—and we hope you’re able to do the same.

From all of us at Phoenix, thank you for your continued support this year. Whether you’ve popped in for a cuppa, volunteered, donated, or just shared a kind word—we appreciate you.

🎅✨ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We’re proud to have supported Poppies Nursery this festive season by donating soft toys for their beautiful Christmas bags.

Each child will be heading home with a special bundle containing:

✨ A handmade keepsake

🎄 A Christmas card and gift from Poppies

🧸 And now, thanks to your support of the Phoenix, a cuddly toy to treasure

Moments like these remind us what community is all about—small acts of kindness that make a big impact for local families.

A huge thank you to the team at Poppies for the care they put into making Christmas magical for the children they support. We’re honoured to play a part.

This month’s word is one to make you smile—literally!

Beatification

👉 [bee-at-uh-fi-key-shuhn]

noun

The act of making blissfully happy

It’s a word that reminds us of the small and powerful ways we can bring joy to others and ourselves—something we try to do every day at the Phoenix.

What’s brought you a bit of beatification this month?
