North Walsham Community Network
The NW Community Network is an association of groups,
organisations and individuals, committed to improving
the wellbeing of residents of North Walsham and its
surrounding area.
We aim to do this by 1) improving access to information
and support; 2) building the capacity of local groups and
organisations; and 3) increasing communication and joint
working across organisations and individuals. We aim to benefit the whole community, including
unpaid carers and vulnerable groups.
We have created an easy-to-use website (called a portal), which is a doorway to a range of
information, promoting choice, independence and wellbeing. In addition, we have linked
with local shops, cafes, churches, pubs, community groups and North Walsham library to
create ‘Community Contact Points’, places where the portal is available for anyone who needs
information, with someone usually on site to help if needed.
The Network also organises events such as the North Walsham Big Bash which brings together
groups and organisations that provide activities and services for people in North Walsham –
showing off all that’s on offer, including volunteering opportunities. The next Big Bash will be
held on 20th April 2024 in the Community Centre. We also arrange other networking and training
events for individuals and groups. If you would like to find out more about the Network, or join in
and take part in any of its activities.

Community Fridge
The North Walsham Community Fridge is a place where the community can come together and
share food. Anyone can donate whether it’s something you’re not going to eat, you have surplus
home grown fruit and vegetables, or you just want to donate to your community. Everyone is
welcome to come along and get a basket of food. The food is free but we do have a donation tin if
you wish to make a small donation. Manager: Jamie-lee Knighton.
address: 38 Vicarage Street, North Walsham.
