Cuppa Care Project

Originally initiated by the Rotary Club of Norwich, the Cuppa Care Project has been developed and led by Hear for Norfolk, and is delivered by a partnership of local organisations working jointly towards bringing people together and tackling loneliness that may be caused through poverty, disability, age, gender, lack of accessible local support and information services, geographical remoteness, poor transport or other issues.

Loneliness is a problem that goes beyond a painful emotional experience. Research shows that loneliness and social isolation are harmful to our health. As well as being harmful, loneliness is also very common.

The Cuppa Care Project visits towns and villages across Norfolk on a rotational and regular basis.

You will see from the timetable that the Cuppa Care Project bus will be visiting the Market Place in Great Yarmouth between 1-3pm on 20th April, 18th May, 15th June, 20th July, 17th August and 21st September.

Whether you just want to get out of the house, meet new people, chat about something that's worrying you or get information, advice or practical support - we have a friendly people on board our Cuppa Care bus who can help.
