Residents and local groups/organisations were invited to share how they felt about living in the area and put forward ideas about things that could be improved.
 
Lots of ideas for enhancing life in Reepham emerged, some of which have the potential to be developed relatively quickly, while others will take more time. Read the final report HERE.
 
The following are the key projects discussed, but other suggestions are welcome.
 
Project 1: Communication and information sharing
Develop an online “What’s on in Reepham” to bring everything that is going on into one place. Information on both regular activities, one-off events, clubs/societies and local services, such as health, housing, education, etc., would be easily available.
 
Project 2: Volunteering and community roles
Encourage more people to get involved in the various voluntary roles in Reepham and see how rewarding it can be. Without more volunteers, it will become increasingly difficult to continue with many of Reepham’s existing regular and annual activities, including all the festivals the town is fortunate enough to have.
 
Project 3: Children and young people
Providing more activities for young people of school and college age, including enhancing provision at Stimpson’s Piece and the Bircham Centre.
 
Project 4: Transport and accessibility
Improving transport to and from Reepham, including supporting the continuation of the Reepham Rover.
 
Can you help to make any of these projects happen?
 
Broadland Health and Wellbeing Partnership has agreed to continue to support developing potential projects and to bring in relevant partners from across the local authority.
 
But it is largely down to everyone to make things happen. Which of these project ideas resonates with you? What can you contribute in the way of enthusiasm, skills, contacts, etc.?
 
Two people have already volunteered to be the leads on Projects 1 and 2, but they need more volunteers to build a team to take the projects forward.
 
Leads and team volunteers are also needed for Projects 3 and 4. Without more help, none of these projects can be delivered to make a difference to living in Reepham.
 
If you can help with any of these projects, in whatever way, please contact Clare Kenvyn by email or Tina Pashley by email.
 
Let us know which project you are interested in and what your contribution could be, so we can connect people.
