#givingBackToTheLocalCommunity

We launched our #givingback initiative in 2019 to thank  Norfolk for supporting us. Our aim is to spread love and support throughout our amazing county. Throughout the year we will be launching different community projects to support other local people.

​

We hope this initiative will grow and that other restaurants and local business owners will join us to make Norfolk even more special! We are here to support you with a focus on community projects to help prevent loneliness.

THANK OUR KEYWORKER HEROES

Random acts of kindess from Jorge's to

Tell us who deserves a special treat

Nominate your keyworker heroes for chance to win them a prize.

To all key workers working tirelessly during this pandemic, we want to hear from you.

Whether you are caring and supporting those who need it most, stacking shelves, delivering much needed food and medical supplies, or you are keeping premises sparkling clean, we want to voice our sincere thanks and share your stories.

What you do can be a thankless job at the best of times, and yet in the face of adversity, you are helping us all.

​

Since this pandemic you have chosen to get up each day, putting your own health and well-being at great risk and have without a moment’s thought put the needs of those around you first. YOU ARE THE DEFINITION OF A HERO.

​

We would love to hear some amazing, heart-warming stories where key workers have shown unshakeable kindness, empathy and optimism in the face of the outbreak.

After our successful #givingback campaign with Age UK over Christmas, Jorge’s Restaurant wants to offer a few gifts by way of thanks.

Our prizes include a bottle of our gorgeous wines, a case of pastel de nata or even a scrumptious takeaway on us!

​

To nominate your hero simply tell why they are amazing, we want to hear their story! Email us at or nominate them on our Facebook post.  

​

Look after yourselves and each other.

Can you help us tackle festive loneliness in 2020?

STATS

·    20,000 people in Norfolk are frail or                 slowing up in older age. More are                   depending on assistance with personal           activities or mobility.

​

·    Half of over 75’s live alone

​

 ·   One in ten older people tell their GP             they are lonely – which, doctors tell us is         as harmful to life expectancy as smoking       15 cigarettes a day

​

·    Nearly 2% of the population of Norwich         are living with dementia – and many of           the city’s companies struggle to cater for       their needs

​

·    £5000 could help give 150 lonely older           people someone they can talk to, with a         month of weekly befriending visits from         Age UK Norwich to improve their                   physical and mental health.
