Know Your Neighbourhood sessions
As part of the Know Your Neighbourhood project, funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, libraries in the King's Lynn and West Norfolk, and Great Yarmouth areas are offering free, welcoming sessions for local communities.
These sessions are all about bringing people together, offering friendly support, and creating opportunities to connect, share and get involved.

Step Forward
Join us for Step Forward, a relaxed weekly session designed to help you build confidence, share experiences and get practical support for finding work and help with everyday life.
What's on offer?
- Friendly space to chat and connect
- Signposting to services like improving digital skills, English language support, and starting your own business.
- Practical tips and advice to help you manage your finances
- Tea and coffee (because everything's better with a cuppa!)
Stay and Play
Friendly drop-in sessions for children under 5 and their grown-ups. Little ones can enjoy songs, play and making new friends, while parents and carers have time to chat, relax and connect with others in a warm, welcoming setting.
Bereavement Café
A free, compassionate drop-in space for anyone who has experienced loss. Come along for a chat, a quiet moment, or simply to sit with others who understand, with tea or coffee available.
The following additional sessions are available at Downham Market, Gorleston and Hunstanton libraries:
Everyday Living - Money Matters
Drop-in sessions focusing on supporting everyday financial wellbeing. Each week, local experts and partner organisations will be available to:
- Share practical guidance on budgeting, debt, and benefits
- Offer advice on energy bills, housing and cost-of-living support
- Signpost you to specialist services for more in-depth help when needed
Tea and coffee is available, and the sessions are informal, friendly, and open to everyone with no appointment needed.
