As we go into week 2 of our Local Businesses series and week 5 of lockdown, we wanted to remind you all of the impact your small gestures can have on others. Times are challenging for everyone at the moment, including small businesses. Even if you may not be able to purchase anything from them at the moment, you can still support them by engaging with their social media posts, sharing their website, or recommending them to a friend. Every small gesture is felt and appreciated at the moment – use yours wisely!

(Again, we just want to reiterate that this information is accurate to the best of our knowledge, but we advise that you check with each business individually for confirmation.)

So, onto today’s 5 shoutouts for local businesses in Norwich …

1. Re. Source (General Store)

Re Source are a fabulous organic Food shop based in Timber Hill in Norwich. They are currently taking orders for collection or delivery via their website: https://resourcegeneralstore.com/ or phone on 01603 617524.

When you phone them, they will need your name, shopping list, email address, and telephone number (and your postal address if you are hoping for delivery). They ask that you make orders on Thursday/Friday if you are hoping for lots of fruit and veg, so that they can try to get you all of the produce you want.
