Connect: Find Support, Share Wisdom, Drive Policy
Welcome to the heart of NCSUN. To reduce friction and cognitive load, please select the path that best matches your immediate need. We ensure every engagement is trauma-informed and respectful of your time.
I am an individual in need of support or community connection
If you are a resident of Norwich struggling with systemic fragmentation, poverty, or complex administrative issues, or if you simply need to connect with others, this is your path. Judgement stops at the door.
Immediate Crisis Support: Access our free, curated resources and crisis helplines via The NLE Network & Norwich Community Anchor.
Find a Listener or Buddy: Request human-centered, non-judgmental support from our trained Collective members who understand the challenges of navigating Norwich’s support systems.
Find The Easton Community Cupboard: Get directions and current operating hours for our founding grassroots initiative.
Next Step: Please use the form below and select the ‘Support Request’ option so our team can match you with the right resource or person.
