Our friendly team of Community Connectors, hosted by The Shoebox Enterprises CIC, have conversations with local residents in key neighbourhoods in Norwich to discover what matters to them, what they are passionate about and what they would like to do with others to help them flourish in community life.
The conversations take place in a range of settings such as cafes, outside local schools, community events, door knocking and at community venues.
Senior Community Connector – Mancroft (City Centre)
07933788588
I’m fairly new to the city but have been a regular visitor all my life.
I have family who live in the Heathgate area and are struck by the vibrant activity in their community. I’m looking forward to discovering how we feel connected to our surroundings and how we can engage in conversations about real and perceived communities.
In my spare time I love doing crafts and enjoy making stained glass windows.

I live close to Heathgate and am a mother to two girls. I’ve attended many groups in the area in the past.
I love soul music, art, upcycling and basically anything wacky!

My passions are empowering people to overcome any struggle in their lives and spread positivity.

I am an avid reader and have recently started to explore new genres. I love the local library and have been a regular for many years, it’s just like shopping but for free!
I’m passionate about anti-racism and advocate for a multicultural society. My tattoos and piercings are an important part of my self-expression.
My children are my inspiration and my pride in them is immense. I’m looking forward to getting out there and learning more about the area and its residents.
