Although not a fundraising organisation, members of the West Norfolk Circle hold a raffle at each monthly meeting, with the accumulated funds allocated each year to a local charity. This year, West Norfolk Carers was chosen, as they are known for their exceptional work supporting young carers and often helping to keep families together in times of great hardship or need. Operating on a very limited budget, the charity has been hit hard by the current financial climate.
The West Norfolk Catenian Circle was established approximately 15 years ago at the request of Bishop of East Anglia Michael Evans, with considerable support from Brothers of the Norwich Circle. The Catenians are a fraternal Catholic men’s group who meet socially to promote friendship, family, and faith. Membership is open to practising Catholic men, with prospective new members warmly welcomed.
