#givingBackToTheLocalCommunity
Can you help us provide meals for homeless people in Norwich?
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.
It's time to extend this project to support those in need throughout the year and this year we start by Supporting "Norwich Homeless Support" by raising money so they can purchase meals for the homeless in Norwich.
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.

Everyone matters and deserves to eat & drink
For many people, the last year has been a terrifying and isolating year. Many people across Norwich have found themselves struggling to stay well and warm, now imagine how scary that must be without a home and no one to support you? Sadly homelessness is a reality for some local people & Norwich Homeless Support is dedicated to supporting them in the following ways:
-
10 Bed Homeless Coach which can house up to ten people from the streets.
-
Weekly Lunch Feeds
-
Community Food Bank
-
Advice Centre
We have committed to providing a meal for the homeless once a month, but that's really not enough! We would like to ask for your support to help us raise money for the charity Norwich Homeless Support so they can provide FREE meals for homeless people in Norwich.
£4 - will buy a packed lunch for a homeless person.
£12 - Buys three packed lunches for the homeless.
£20 - Buys a week of packed lunches for the homeless.
Scroll down and find out how you can help us!
If you are unable to support us by purchasing a meal then please share this page and our social media posts to help spread the word!
Thank you for your support, if you have any questions or can help please call Eleanor on 0780 644 1856.

Why support Norwich Homeless Support?
"We beleive that having a home is not an entitlement, it is a RIGHT"! No one should go without food or drink!
In collaboration with Norwich Homeless support, we are raising money so they can provide weekly lunches for the homeless in Norwich. The currently go around Norwich with their food buggies two days a week and plan to increase this to 5 days a week in March but we need your help to raise more funds assisting them with their goal.
How can you help?
You can gift a meal or a week of meals for a homeless person in Norwich. Here is how:
On our takeaway ordering system you will see we have added two options allowing you to purchase meals for the homeless.
1. Buy a meal for a homeless person in Norwich for £4
2. Buy a week of meals for a homeless person in Norwich for £20
Simply add the meals you would like to gift to your takeaway order and 100% of your gift will go to the charity allowing them to increase their lunch service from 2 days a week to 5 days.
You can also gift money to our dedicated giving back PayPal account with any value (small or large) using the email jorge@jorgesrestaurant.co.uk (Please use the reference "Norwich Homeless"
Thank you for helping us to support our local community! Together we can make great things happen.
Can you nominate a charity
for us to support this Christmas?
Each Christmas we plan to offer a Free
3-course meal to a group of local people that suffer from loneliness. We need your help to choose a charity to support this year!
Although Norwich was voted the UK’s happiest place to work, it was also voted one of the loneliest and we would like to bring people together for a Christmas celebration. We want to spoil them and show them we are thinking of them and that they are loved!
We don't mind what kind of charity we support but the focus of our event is to encourage people that are lonely and allow them to get together and hopefully make some new friends.
The pandemic will mean many people have lost loved ones and may be facing Christmas for the first time alone!
So which local charities do you know that are doing their best to help prevent loneliness in our fine city? This could be to support struggling families, give family carers a little bit of rest bite, simply tell us whom your nominated charity is, why you have nominated them!
To nominate your charity please contact Eleanor on
07806441856 or email her to
