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.

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.
