In this episode, Mile Cross Connectors Ally and Claire share what it’s like to support and connect people in one of Norwich’s most misunderstood areas.

They talk about grassroots initiatives like the Green Hearts gardening group and MX Care Free for young carers, as well as the often-overlooked assets that keep the neighbourhood going - from community centres and churches to small volunteer-led projects.

Through residents’ stories, we see why Mile Cross is more connected than many assume - and why people who leave often find themselves drawn back.
