We are very pleased to be part of and lead a new project that is aimed preventing and reducing social isolation and loneliness across Norfolk communities. The Cuppa Care Project has been initiated and developed by the Rotary Club of Norwich and delivered by a partnership of local charities working jointly towards bringing people together and tackle loneliness that may be caused through poverty, disability, age, gender, lack of accessible local support and information services, geographical remoteness, poor transport or other needs.
Whether you just want to get out of the house, to meet new people, or chat about something that’s worrying you – we have friendly people on board of our Cuppa Care Bus who can help. Apart from us (Hear for Norfolk) you will be able to access support from Age UK Norwich, Vision Norfolk, Norfolk LGBT+ Project, Norfolk and Waveney Mind, Norfolk CAB and Age UK Norfolk.
