Bowthorpe Green Party

If you couldn’t get to a workshop this week, tomorrow at Roys of Bowthorpe, we’ll be there again between 11am - 1pm.

You don’t need to have all the answers.

We’ve got plenty of questions and would love to know how you would spend £20m in the Bowthorpe and West Earlham area.

It was great to meet with Change Grow Live Norfolk colleagues at their Norwich office and then down to St Saviours Yard where they have a brand new drop-in service, as part of a pilot scheme by Norfolk County Council to improve people's health and wellbeing ❤️‍🩹

The 3 units down at SSY will focus on support for alcohol use, mental health and social care, housing and debt advice 🏠
