Share the love

We met birthday boy Steve at the bandstand to give out the Posters for delivery around the streets around the South side of the park. Liz, Angela and Elizabeth soon organised themselves along the route, the posters being more difficult to post through letterbox’s compared to the postcards but we soon got into a rhythm. Liz and Elizabeth found themselves in a lovely area of beautiful small homes we believe were for older people which were in a circle around a lovely large pond, all had chairs outside their front doors which made a lovely sun trap. I even came across a family of ducks. If you look in the background across the pond you’ll see Liz on her delivery run 😃We joined up with Angela to finish the final road, then Liz finished off houses on her run home, and Angela finished off the final close on her run home. We were very lucky with the weather, it turned out to be sunny! Girl power again !

Fine City Neighbours
Encouraging neighbourliness and social solidarity in Norwich

Fine City Neighbours is a campaign to inspire Norwich residents to build relationships with their neighbours. The aim is to help build informal neighbourhood groups during the pandemic and celebrate those that came about during the last lockdown and those that existed beforehand. This is a project about deepening the fabric of social solidarity for the COVID recovery and beyond. We are producing a website and a postcard to be delivered to houses across the city. The materials we produce will provide advice, guidance and inspiration for street level community building as well as links to more direct support. Fine City Neighbours is about building relationships with people before you need them and they need you.
