This June, get involved with our Hope Happens Here campaign by adding your message of hope.

In Norwich, we want to show that hope is stronger than hate and welcome is stronger than division by collecting 1,000 Acts of Hope across our city. Our Hope Happens Here campaign will show what a welcoming – and HOPEFUL – Norwich looks like.

Why does this campaign matter now? It can sometimes feel like stories of division and negativity dominate the headlines. But that’s not the full picture. All around us, people are welcoming new neighbours, volunteering their time, offering friendship and solidarity and standing up for fairness and compassion. Together, we will shine a light on the positive actions and hopeful ambitions that shape our city, and remind ourselves that there is far more that connects us than divides us.

These messages written by you and 1000+ residents, will go on display at The Forum during Refugee Week from 15-21 June 2026.

How can you get involved? Go to linktr.ee/orangeheart to write your message of hope. Write an example of ‘hope’ you’ve seen in your community; simple, small acts of kindness or generosity which contribute to making Norwich such a brilliant place to live.
