The Salvation Army - Norwich Citadel

If anyone has slept rough in Norwich in the last 25 years it is very likely that they will have benefited from the Salvation Army run ‘Arc’, which is celebrating its anniversary this week.
The Arc is a drop-in service located on Pottergate in Norwich for people sleeping rough. Men and women over the age of 16 can get a hot meal, a cup of tea, have a shower, use the laundry facilities, and above all receive a warm, genuine and non-judgmental welcome.

We hope you all had a great summer and have had a smooth transition back to school! We would love to see you on 21st September to share stories, think about our emotions and have lots of fun together!

A massive well done to all the runners who took part in yesterday! It was amazing to have a cheer station near the finish line and to be able to cheer people in for the last leg of the race! Also a big well done to many of our members who took part and raised money for various different charities 👏

We would love you to join us at our festival of remembrance in support of Walking With The Wounded

We will be open Friday 6th Septmber and Saturday 7th September for Heritage Open Days! We will be serving light refreshments and will have children’s activities on the Saturday. There is no need to book for anything so you can pop in when walking past 😊

We featured in this week’s Salvationist! Well done to our Victory Programme Team 👏

In just under two weeks' time, you are welcome to join us for our Heritage Days on 6th and 7th September! Look at the poster below for information about children's activities happening on Saturday 7th, we look forward to seeing you there 🙌

Come and see our friendly team 🙂

We have our homemade bakes and cooking on our usual menu and weekly specials! ☕️🍽️

We have to be candles,
burning between
hope and despair,
faith and doubt,
life and death,
all the opposites.
That is the disquieting place
where people must always find us.
And if our life means anything,
if what we are goes beyond the monastery walls and
does some good,
it is that somehow,
by being here,
at peace,
we help the world cope
with what it cannot understand.
