The Brilliant Britain Team head to the east of England in this week’s show, to meet up with charities based all around Norfolk that help to Do Something Brilliant every day! Voice Over by David Cook Barry John Room House in Thetford is one of five accommodation services run by Access Community Trust that supports homeless and socially excluded adults. One inspirational figure amongst the residents at John Room House is Barry Stone, an incredible man who has turned his life around from a life of drug addiction to being a master gardener. By helping his fellow residents to develop horticultural skills, Barry brings the whole of the John Room House community together. http://www.accessct.org/ http://www.accessct.org/housing/john-room-house http://www.twitter.com/accessEmma Borderhoppa Borderhoppa is a Harleston-based charity which supports people who live in rural areas without access to a car through a community transport service. It helps various members of the community to come together, from the elderly with their weekly shopping and getting to doctor’s appointments, to young people getting to job interviews on time. The Brilliant Britain team meets up with a trustee and benefactors of this brilliant charity and takes a ride on the Borderhoppa bus! http://www.borderhoppa.org/ http://www.twitter.com/Borderhoppa YMCA Norfolk Great Yarmouth is home to YMCA Norfolk and the Great Yarmouth Bike Project (GYBP).
