Which Membership is Right for You?
Fancy giving us a go? Currently there are groups and activities available for you to join in Norwich and Great Yarmouth. It’s free to become a Shoebox community member but we suggest a donation of £3 per group to help cover costs. You can choose to donate as you go or to set up a regular donation.
By becoming a member, you’re not just helping to keep our doors open – you’re enabling more activities, community groups, and opportunities for connection.
We’ve got a membership option for everyone. Take a look and find the one that suits you best:
‘Free’ Membership – Donations Welcome
Our peer support groups and social activities are partially funded by the profits from our experiences and tours and small grants but we rely on your generosity to keep them going.
We suggest a donation of £3 per group to help cover costs, but you’re welcome to contribute whatever you can afford. Some of our groups may have additional costs for materials or trips.
We know times are tough, and we don’t want money to stop you from being part of The Shoebox community. That’s why our weekly Community Coffee Mornings are always free of charge. If you’d like, you can make a donation toward teas, coffees, and running costs, but it’s completely optional.
Donations can be made in cash or by card at group sessions.
Every contribution, big or small, helps us keep these vital groups running.
Join for free today!

If someone was thinking of coming to the Shoebox, I’d definitely advise it because I think it’s a wonderful place. Definitely come, you’ll never regret it.
