Disclaimer : The following reports are not thoughts of any one individual but are the amalgamation of conversations from the community.

Accessibility and inclusivity within Mancroft is a very un-talked about topic. The data that is available focuses on mental and physical disabilities. There are a few groups available in the community that support accessibility and inclusivity issues, but there is a lack of awareness and support for these issues within Mancroft. More needs to be done to raise awareness and ensure that people with disabilities have access to the services and support they need.

The community in Mancroft is generally positive and welcoming. There are a number of local organisations and groups that provide support and opportunities for residents. However, there is a need for more volunteers and better communication about community events. Additionally, the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the community is still being felt, and there are concerns about the lack of inclusion for certain areas and groups.

The cost of living is a major concern for the community in Mancroft, Norwich. The data shows that people are worried about the rising cost of housing, energy, and other essentials. They are also concerned about the lack of affordable housing and community spaces. The closure of community hubs would have a negative impact on the community, as it would reduce access to essential services and support. The data also shows that there are some positive assets in the community. For example, there are a number of businesses that offer affordable prices and services. There are also a number of community groups that provide support and activities for people of all ages. The data suggests that the community is resilient and resourceful. However, it is clear that the cost of living is having a negative impact on many people. There is a need for more affordable housing and community spaces. There is also a need for more support for people who are struggling to make ends meet.

The data shows that crime and anti-social behavior (ASB) are major concerns in Mancroft. There are both positive and negative comments about safety in the area. Some people feel safe in the area, while others feel unsafe. There are a number of factors that may contribute to people's feelings of safety, including the time of day, the location, and the people who are present. There are concerns about drug use and drug dealing in Mancroft. The council is not always responsive to complaints about crime and ASB which can make people feel frustrated and less likely to report crime and ASB. There are opportunities to improve safety and reduce crime in Mancroft such as Increasing police patrols in the area, Working with community groups to address the root causes of crime and ASB, Making it easier for people to report crime and ASB and providing more support for people who are struggling with drug addiction.

Education, employment, and learning are relatively low talking points in Mancroft. However, there are a number of assets within the community that offer education and learning opportunities, such as Norfolk Reading Pathway group, Men's Shed, Social Action at Kings Centre, New Routes, and Bridge Plus. There are some concerns about literacy and education for people in prison, as well as about the lack of vocational pathways into academic subjects. There is an opportunity to support education for people at risk of going to prison or who have recently been released. There is also an opportunity to support postgraduates and those who are struggling to find work after leaving university. More engagement with schools, particularly in northern Mancroft, would be beneficial. More data is needed from students and teachers in order to compile a greater insight into what is needed for these demographics in Mancroft.

The data suggests that there are a number of strengths in the community when it comes to health and wellbeing. There are a number of assets in the community that support mental health, including groups, hubs, and individuals who are passionate about mental health. There is also a lot of support available from health services. However, there are also some areas where more needs to be done. One area where more needs to be done is to address social isolation. Social isolation is a significant issue in the community, with many people reporting feeling lonely and isolated. There are a number of groups and activities that can help to reduce social isolation, but more needs to be done to reach those who are most at risk. Another area where more needs to be done is to improve communication between the community and health services. There appears to be a conflict in opinions when it comes to what is on offer from wellbeing services in the area. Signposting for people with mental health issues, a wellbeing network and just better communication in general are all things that could be improved upon in the community to help move in the right direction.

The Mancroft community is generally positive about the natural and built environment in their area. They enjoy the green spaces, the local facilities, and the convenience of everything being close by. They are also supportive of the Anglia Square redevelopment, although there are some concerns about gentrification and affordability. The community is also concerned about the length of time the redevelopment is taking, and the lack of information being given to businesses and residents. Additionally, the community is concerned about parking, safety and traffic, and public transport. The community is hopeful that the Anglia Square redevelopment will be a positive addition to the area, but they have some concerns that need to be addressed. The community has expressed a desire for more communication with the city council about the Anglia Square redevelopment. They would like to know more about the plans for the development and how it will affect the community. They would also like to be able to provide input into the development process. The community has also expressed concerns about parking, safety and traffic, and public transport. They would like to see more parking spaces added to the area, and they would like to see the city council do more to improve safety and traffic flow. They would also like to see more public transportation options available in the area.

The data suggests that there is a need for more support for vulnerable people in Mancroft. The main concern is the lack of support for homeless people. There are also concerns about homeless people using parks and community gardens and leaving rubbish and vandalising things. There is an opportunity within Mancroft to support the assets that are already in the community, as it appears as though there is support there for homeless people but it for some reason is not easy to access and or not being broadcasted well enough. With this section being a relatively small portion of comments from the data set it is hard to make a concrete judgement on the real needs for people in vulnerable circumstances. Therefore, there is the potential to speak to what are targeted as the vulnerable people themselves as currently there is not much indication of when speaking to these community members if they are in vulnerable circumstances themselves. It would then be a recommendation to go to places and speak to these people such as the homeless and see what the needs are for them and find out if there are a lot of barriers to getting the help that is needed. Overall, the data suggests that there is a need for more support for vulnerable people in Mancroft. This could include providing more housing options for homeless people, increasing access to services, and raising awareness of the issue.
