Join a Friends of the Park Group
Norwich’s “Friends of” groups are volunteer-led teams that help care for local parks, cemeteries and nature areas. Most are open to everyone, supporting conservation, hosting events and strengthening community ties while enhancing the city’s green spaces.
Join a group near you and be part of something special!
It’s a great way to give back, make a difference, and help keep Norwich’s green spaces thriving.
