New website
We're currently redeveloping our website so you may see a mix of old and new style pages while we complete this work. We'd love to hear your feedback on the new style.
Our approach to community enabling
Norwich is full of great ideas and we’re here to help bring them to life. We support communities to connect, take action, and shape the places they live.
Supporting stronger communities in Norwich
We’re working together with residents, local groups, and partners to build safer, healthier, and more connected neighbourhoods across Norwich.
Our approach is simple: we focus on what’s already great in our communities - people, places, and ideas - and help them grow. We believe that when communities lead the way, amazing things can happen.
What we do
We support people to take action on what matters most in their neighbourhoods.
Whether it’s:
- starting a community garden
- running a local centre
- setting up a cycle hub
- or launching a brand-new idea
We’re here to help with practical advice, small grants, and encouragement. We also help with things like governance, funding, and measuring impact - so your project can thrive.
Tools to help you
Our online platform, LUMi, connects people with resources, equipment, and inspiration. It’s a space to share ideas, find support, and take action together.
Building connections
Strong communities are connected communities. That’s why we bring people together through local networks - based on shared interests (like outdoor projects or community venues) or local priorities (like reducing inequality).
These networks help build resilience, spark collaboration, and strengthen the voluntary and community sector.
Your voice matters
We make sure everyone in Norwich has the chance to be heard and shape the services that affect them. Whether it’s through city-wide consultations or support for local projects, we’re here to help you make a difference.
Let’s build a better Norwich together
We’re committed to creating a city of resilient, connected, and empowered communities - where everyone has the opportunity to get involved and make a positive impact.
