Story

North Walsham Community Shop and North Walsham Phoenix Group have established an Emergency Grant Fund for those who live in North Walsham. This fund will help those in our community who are facing financial hardship during the Coronavirus pandemic. No one should have to suffer alone and we are proud to support this community. This is your chance to support us and by that very token support others. So please give what you can. Our community supporting each other every step of the way.

The Community Shop will use its grant giving track record and charitable governance to allocate funds to North Walsham Phoenix Group to be distributed to the individuals who are in need the most, right now. For us to try and assess everyones needs within the community would take too long to be effective and meet the needs of those in hardship here and now. To speed up the process we will be reaching out to those groups that are already out in the community helping those affected.

By working with groups such as the Good Neighbours Scheme, Citizens Advice Bureau, Trussel Trusts foodbank, and others, we will work on a referral basis so that any of these groups can refer an individual to us, who will then receive a one-time supporting grant to be used to help them cover the essential items they need.

To help all those in need in our town will depend largely on being able to generate and secure funding to be able to provide supporting grants. This is where you can do your bit to help our community and show a united front in this crisis. The Community Shop has already granted £1,000 to kick off this fund.

Please donate what you can afford to the North Walsham Emergency Grant fund. That way everyone can feel they have actively helped, and that are all committed to working together as one community, getting through this devastating Coronavirus pandemic together.
