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. When we launched this project our aim was to bring local lonely people together during the festive season with a free meal and gifts.
Every year since we have committed to hosting a special event to support lonely elderly people in Norwich that are supported to Age UK.
We want to show people we are thinking of them and they are not alone!
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.
Jorge, Owner & Manager, Jorge's Restaurant
What are we doing this year?
Event Date: Monday 13th December 2021
Time: 1pm - 4:30pm
For many people, the last year has been a terrifying and isolating few years. Many people across Norwich have found themselves struggling to stay well and warm, now imagine how scary that must be without any family to support you? Sadly there are many elderly people across Norfolk that have little to no social interaction. Whilst we realise our annual event won't change the world, it is an opportunity for elderly people in Norwich to get together, hopefully, make some new friends and get totally spoilt!
Check out the schedule!
1:00 - 1:30pm: Guest Arrival - Selection of Codfish cakes, cold meats & bread served on the table
1:45pm - 3:00pm: Mains served: Roast Turkey & Beef, Roast Potatoes & Veggies
(Red & White Wine, Beer & Waters available throughout)
3:00 - 4:15pm: Move across to Go Bifanas & The Yard Coffee for games, a relaxed Dessert with Cakes, Tea, coffee & Port wine
4:15pm: Delivery of cards & presents
4:30pm: Guests collected by Norwich Door to Door
To keep guests safe throughout all staff attending must wear a mask & complete a lateral flow test before attending.

Testimonials from previous #givingback events
It’s a great privilege to be Sheriff because you go around and see a great amount of good work that goes on in the city and that is an enormous privilege but it is very rare that you come to an event like this which is a completely new incitive. Where we haven’t got empty promises about goodwill to mankind. We’ve actually got generosity beyond and above any kind of generosity I have ever seen in the city. And I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Jorge and to Eleanor & to Age UK Norwich for bringing this together. With the choir to the children that were here, with the presents that were given. Not often am I moved to tears, but I’ve been in tears all afternoon at the generosity that has been shown today. And what I’m really hoping is that they might have started an incitive today that might take off, because I can see there is a real amount of good will and people wanting to help and not knowing how. So, let’s see if we can harness this wonderful incitive & take it one step further for next year and beyond.
