Norfolk Clubhouse celebrates £20,000 and Carrow House move

Norfolk Clubhouse, a charity dedicated to supporting individuals in recovery from mental health challenges, is thrilled to announce it has been awarded a £20,000 grant from The National Lottery Community Fund. This significant funding will enable Norfolk Clubhouse to extend its services and continue its essential work in fostering community and resilience among its members throughout 2025 and beyond.

In addition to this exciting funding news, Norfolk Clubhouse has recently moved its Norwich hub to a new location at Carrow House, as part of the recently established Norwich Unity Hub. This new space will provide an expanded and welcoming environment where members can gather in a more central location and the charity can collaborate more easily with other community groups.

Norfolk Clubhouse Founder, psychotherapist June Webb, expressed her gratitude, saying, “We are deeply thankful to The National Lottery Community Fund for this grant, which will go a long way in helping us grow our community and support more individuals in their recovery journey. Moving into Carrow House as part of the Norwich Unity Hub also marks a fresh chapter for us – it’s an exciting space where we can really develop and expand what the Clubhouse has to offer.”

Previously, the Norwich hub of Norfolk Clubhouse met on Mondays 10am-1pm at Pilling Park Community centre. Going forward, the newly-expanded offering at Carrow House will provide services from 10am-4pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The Watton hub is continuing as normal.

The grant from The National Lottery Community Fund will support Norfolk Clubhouse in enhancing its programs, which include peer support, skill-building workshops, and community and wellbeing-building activities. Combined with the relocation, this funding also helps the charity to achieve its goal of providing a location where members can actively participate in the everyday running of the charity – something that has previously been limited by the group only having access to shared spaces.

With the support of both the Community Fund and the Norwich Unity Hub, Norfolk Clubhouse looks forward to empowering even more people on their mental health recovery journey.
