Move More Membership

This week on Community Connectors, we’re joined by the team from Everyone Active North Norfolk to explore their brand-new Move More Membership—a programme designed to make health and fitness more accessible for everyone. We chat with GP Exercise Referral Coordinator John Fowler, Membership Advisor Rachel Keceli, and Swim Manager Lisa Bearne about breaking down barriers to exercise, building confidence, and creating a welcoming space for all abilities. From GP referrals and holistic wellbeing support to swimming, classes, and community fitness initiatives, there’s far more on offer than you might expect. If you’re looking to improve your physical and mental wellbeing, meet new people, or simply take that first step into a healthier lifestyle, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical advice.

Exploitation Awareness Campaign

In this important and powerful episode of Community Connectors, host Catherine is joined by Susannah Armstrong-Cobb, Communications Officer at the Norfolk Community Safety Partnership, to talk about the Exploitation Awareness Campaign and why it matters to all of us. Together, they unpack what exploitation really is, why it is often hidden, and how it can affect anyone, anywhere — children, young people and adults alike. Susannah explains the many different forms exploitation can take, including criminal and sexual exploitation, county lines, modern slavery, cuckooing, online harms, fraud and unhealthy relationships, and why people may not even realise it is happening to them. The conversation explores: * Why exploitation is never a choice and how grooming works * The warning signs to look out for in ourselves, our families and our communities * The importance of trusting your gut instinct * What to do – and where to go – if you’re worried about yourself or someone else Susannah also introduces knowthesigns.info, a new one-stop website created to bring together clear information, support routes and reporting options in one place. Whether you’re a professional, a community volunteer, a parent, or simply someone who wants to keep others safe, this episode highlights how even sharing a small concern could help protect someone from harm. A vital listen that reminds us all: if it doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it – get help and support.
