Could you spare us some of your time?

The Bircham Centre is run by a board of Trustees, made up of ordinary people who are passionate about our wonderful community building.

We're looking to recruit new trustees to join the established team to help support the Charity in the following areas:

To help with community events
To be the link between trustees and volunteers
To join the existing team responsible for the maintenance of the building

If you have any experience in these areas, have time to spare and are looking for an exciting and enjoyable voluntary role, we would love to hear from you.

If you're interested and would like to know more, contact our Centre Manager, Polly Brockis:

BIRCHAM LOOKING FOR NEW TRUSTEES

GRANT TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY WARM SPACE

We're delighted to announce that we've received a grant from the Norfolk Community Foundation to support our Community Warm Space initiative. We're so grateful for their support.

This means we can continue to open Room 7 each Monday morning from 9 am to 1 pm throughout the Winter. Join us for a cheery welcome and a warm place to sit with a hot drink - and usually cake!

Our Warm Space is open to all. We have free WiFi available as well as information about local support agencies and organisations.

WE'VE TWINNED OUR TOILETS!

Did you know that 19 November is World Toilet Day?

World Toilet Day is a UN designated day to push for action for the 1.7 billion people on the planet who still don’t have a life-saving toilet.

Good sanitation and clean drinking water are fundamental to communities. Yet 1 in 4 people worldwide don’t have somewhere safe, private, or hygienic to go to the toilet. The human and economic impact of this is enormous.

As part of the refurbishment of our hallway, we're proud to have twinned our two toilets - one with a latrine in Zambia and the other with a latrine in Malawi...!

It's another example of the Reepham local community reaching out to people in need in developing countries.
