Norwich Samaritans have been supporting Norwich and central Norfolk for 60 years. Every year, our 180 volunteers give over 20,000 hours to support those struggling to cope. It costs £250,000 each year to keep our branch running – and that’s where our shops come in!
Our shop on Bridewell Alley – Sams in the Lanes – is one of our three unique shops in Norwich. Every purchase from our shops directly helps us continue providing essential support to those who need it most. From donations generously gifted to us, we’ve curated a shop that we feel perfectly suits the vibrant Lanes community and independent spirit – a particular mix of vintage and alternative; something a little different for the more curious amongst us. The random nature of donations always keeps it interesting; you’ll never know what you might find!
