📣📣Calling all Carers and those looking after loved ones

Carers Voice Norfolk and Waveney are holding a Carers Wellness and Information Event on Friday 17th April from 10.30am-2.30pm at the Cromer Parish Hall.

ℹ️ The aim of this event is to ensure Carers in North Norfolk have access to information and support about their own health and wellbeing. They are linking with Carers Active Together, a national celebration for Carers and the power of movement.

This event will bring together local organisations and groups as well as providing Carers access to free wellness therapies to give Carers a crucial break from their caring role.

🕑All unpaid Carers and the people they are caring for are welcome. The event is a drop in so Carers can attend at a time that suits them.

🍰🧁☕️There will also be free refreshments provided (including cake) from About with Friends.

🙏📣 Carers voice would really appreciate your help with sharing with your network and across socials so we can reach as many Carers as possible🙏

We’re reminding residents to remain vigilant to courier frauds following 10 reports made during the last week across Norfolk.

The incidents primarily consist of members of the public being contacted by scammers pretending to be officers from a London police station, saying that a person had been arrested for fraud and had been using the victim’s cards. They were then encouraged to dial 999 without hanging up first, to confirm the identity of the ‘officer’ and then provide card details for the investigation.

The reports were made by residents in Norwich, Long Stratton, Aylsham, Swanton Morley and Downham Market.

During one incident, which took place on Thursday 26 March 2026, a victim from Wymondham was contacted by the scammers and convinced to put credit cards and their mobile phone into an envelope, which was then collected by a courier.

⚠️ Your bank or the police will NEVER ask for your PIN, bank card or bank account details over the phone. Never share these details with anyone. ⚠️

If you receive a call from an officer and wish to check their identity, we advise hanging up and calling 101- ideally from a different phone. An officer will never mind waiting for you to check their identity via the control room.

❗ Please share this message with anyone who you think may be vulnerable, especially those who may not be online. More advice can be found via the link in the comments

Stress Awareness Month 2026

April is Stress Awareness Month, and it’s a good reminder that stress can show up in lots of different ways. It might affect how we think (like struggling to focus), how we feel (feeling overwhelmed or on edge), how our body reacts (tension, headaches, tiredness), or how we behave (changes in sleep, appetite or motivation).

If any of this feels familiar, you don’t have to manage it alone.
Norfolk & Waveney Talking Therapies is here to help. You can refer yourself at nandwtalkingtherapies.org.uk or call 0300 123 1503.
