Hour Community is a registered charity supported by the Rotary Club of Framlingham to provide community solutions to community issues.

Hour Community is a Rotary Club of Framlingham initiative created to support the residents of Framlingham and its surrounding villages. Beginning in 2011, we have since grown and continue to respond to identified need, employing the skills of dedicated volunteers. We are delighted to be able to offer residents a number of services to support in ways that have not previously been available. So, now, as well as providing dedicated volunteer help within the home we can also get you to hospital, supply and fit smoke alarms completely free of charge and offer a Dementia Befriending Service. The Hour Community's ethos is "please give an hour of your time a month to help someone in need. If you can't give an hour of your time, give an hour of your salary". If you like the idea of giving some of your time to help others please continue to navigate this page for ideas as to how you can get involved. If you need some help please use the contact information listed for details of how to get in touch.

It was lovely to welcome the Suffolk Building Society team to Hour Place this week for the first session of their new trial weekly drop-in service.

The team will be with us every Wednesday from 10am–2pm, offering local, face-to-face support with savings, existing accounts, mortgages, later life options and more.

A great addition to the services available through Hour Place, and another way we can help make useful support more accessible within the community.
