Leader of Breckland Council Sam Chapman-Allen said: “I am incredibly proud of everyone who has contributed to supporting the most vulnerable residents in our communities.

“The team work has made a massive difference to so many people and I’m delighted to have reached such a tremendous milestone.

“The pandemic has brought many challenges, but the community spirit and resolve has truly shown the district at its best.”
