20:20 Vision

Aim

To celebrate 20 years of the Phoenix Centre we are launching a new campaign- we aim to raise £20,000 and recruit 20 new volunteers.

The Mile Cross Phoenix Projects CIO (formerly known as Mile Cross Phoenix Children’s Project) is a community-led charity based at the Phoenix Centre in Mile Cross, Norwich. It provides a centre for education, recreation, and social activities. Offering services such as a community café, social supermarket, food bank, and free family activities and packed lunches in the school holidays. The centre also has rooms for public and private hire.

The charity focuses on alleviating deprivation by fostering community engagement and support. ‘Our aim is to provide a safe and welcoming space for our community. We want everyone to feel accepted, included and respected.’ – Chrissy Brighmore, Centre Manager. 

2026 marks our 20th year of being at the Phoenix Centre. To celebrate we are hosting an open day in which we will be featuring groups, organisations and businesses that have supported us over the years, but also highlighting all the hard work the chairty does for the community. We will have live music from local artists, food, an ice cream van, facepainting, a children's entertainer and more.... All funds raised will go towards necessary repairs and renovations to our beloved centre, this will ensure we can carry on supporting the residents of Mile Cross, and the wider area.
