Mid Norfolk Besom began in earnest after several of us attended the Besom conference in March 2006, so we are still in our infancy.  We are based in Ashill, Norfolk, which is a small village (population 1600), about 3 miles out of the nearest town, and 30 miles from Norwich.

What we do

Besom is a bridge between those who want to give and those in need in our community. We believe the first steps to helping are often the hardest because we don’t know how to or where the need is. Besom aims to make those first steps possible and enjoyable.

How to get involved

Giving Things

We accept good quality furniture, household Items and clothing, all of the highest quality, as we believe it is an expression of God's love in what we give.

At the moment we do not have any storage facility so can only take small items. We ask those who have larger items to give, such as furniture, to store them for us until we can match donors and recipients.

Giving Time as an Individual

Individuals can get involved by giving Time. This can be done in a number of ways.  We welcome those who would like to sort and put together packages of clothes and household items for individuals, as well as those who have time to help us collect and deliver items of furniture from those who are giving to those who do not have.

We are often amazed by the perfect match between gifts that are given, and people’s need as God provides for people in our community.If you feel you would like to get involved or if you work with those who would benefit from out help, we would love to hear from you.

Our operating hours are flexible and we can be contacted on: 0793 37 70176.
