We want to make sure residents and businesses in Norwich are kept well informed about the impact of coronavirus on essential services.

We also want everyone to be aware of the big steps we’re taking, every single day, to ensure we offer all the support we possibly can so that we can continue to deliver critical services in these most challenging of times.

Hundreds of food parcels are being delivered each week, and we have so far made over 2800 welfare calls to our most vulnerable citizens.
