Hour Community is a registered charity based in Framlingham. We exist to support the residents of Framlingham and its surrounding villages with a number of essential support services such as medical transport, dedicated volunteer help within the home, dementia befriending service, mental health drop in cafe, and our most recent project - the Hour Place Health and Wellbeing Community Hub.
