Tonight was the first session of GoodGym Norwich delivering postcards across Norwich.

This is part of the Fine City Neighbours project, where each person in Norwich will receive a postcard, which they can then send to a neighbour or friend, to let them know they are there.

A big welcome to Jenny who was completing her first GoodGym good deed, and to Fraser who was doing his first for GoodGym Norwich.

We had an hour window for people to meet me at The Forum, to collect a batch of 100 postcards along with some street names. They paired up and off they went to help bring Norwich closer together.

We’ve got 20,000 to deliver in total and will be meeting at The Forum every Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 5.30-6.30pm until we’ve delivered them all 😊

Fine City Neighbours

Encouraging neighbourliness and social solidarity in Norwich

Fine City Neighbours is a campaign to inspire Norwich residents to build relationships with their neighbours. The aim is to help build informal neighbourhood groups during the pandemic and celebrate those that came about during the last lockdown and those that existed beforehand. This is a project about deepening the fabric of social solidarity for the COVID recovery and beyond. We are producing a website and a postcard to be delivered to houses across the city. The materials we produce will provide advice, guidance and inspiration for street level community building as well as links to more direct support. Fine City Neighbours is about building relationships with people before you need them and they need you.
