to those less fortunate than many of us...
Norwich is home to many, and, we like to think, welcoming and friendly to strangers and caring towards those who need help. It’s Norwich’s DIY, loving way to do all we can to support others, and, as we approach the colder months of the year, we wanted to give you an outline of just some of what wonderful volunteers do for the homeless, lonely and hungry all through the year in our fine city. If you have any time or food, please try to help alongside them if you can. Moreover, let’s all remember to be grateful for what we have at this often challenging time of year.
