Norfolk at its best
Are you interested in seeing the breadth of inspirational community work in Norfolk? ‘Norfolk at its best’ is an illustrated book that has been produced to help shine a light on local charities and community groups in Norfolk.
‘Norfolk at its best’ features nearly 100 groups in Norfolk with pictures of their work and inspirational quotes. Each page gives a snapshot of just some of the stories that demonstrates the richness in ideas and aspiration in local communities, and the deep understanding of the issues local people can face. Some of the charities featured include SENsational Families, who provide support services and training for families with special educational needs and/or disabilities, the Daisy Programme, supporting men and women living with or who have been affected by domestic abuse, and the Matthew Project, supporting people impacted by drug and alcohol related issues.
The book has been put together by Kevin Keable to help give back to the community by raising vital funds and awareness of the people and organisations representing Norfolk at its best, having previously been involved in fundraising for local charities and recognising the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the charity sector, from rises in cases of domestic abuse, those struggling with mental ill health, isolation and increased use of food banks.
“Across Norfolk, local charities and community groups are working tirelessly to provide care, support and companionship to those of us most in need. At the Foundation, we are inspired every day by the compassion and commitment of these vital groups, and we’re delighted to shine a light on just some of their amazing stories in this book.”
Claire Cullens, Chief Executive of Norfolk Community Foundation
