Thorpe Players' Chairman Phil Ford is pictured with Nicola Darkins of ARC Norwich. The ARC runs a drop-in day centre for people who are homeless or vulnerably housed. It is a safe haven where people can be themselves, be accepted and not judged, providing practical assistance, including food and clothing as well as support with housing, drug & alcohol, mental & physical health, money management, life skills and employment.
Thorpe Players' member Dave Montgomery is pictured (centre) presenting the cheque to the Norfolk Renal Fund Charity, represented here by Dr Karin at the Langley Ward (Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital) together with staff from the Renal Team. Dave himself is a patient in renal care receiving kidney dialysis three times a week for the last three and a half years and his experience can testify to the hard work, care and dedication that the entire team provides. The Norfolk Renal Fund aims to provide things such as assistance with facilities/equipment not provided by the NHS; training for staff; promoting renal/chronic kidney disease to the public; financial support to patients and carers.

Thorpe Players Theatre Company have made a donation of £200 to support the Thorpe St. Andrew Parish Church Fund-a-Flint Appeal. The Appeal has been set-up to enable major repairs to take place to the high retaining flint wall behind the Parish Church on Yarmouth Road which has collapsed and crumbled and is need of urgent attention. Thorpe Players Chairman David Watson said, “We feel that at times like this it is important for the local community to come together and do what they can to help preserve part of our local history and heritage”.
If you would like to contribute to the Appeal please contact The Fund-A-Flint Appeal, c/o The Rectory, 21a South Avenue, Thorpe St. Andrew, Norwich NR7 0EY (Tel: 01603 439160) |
