State of the Voluntary and Community Sector in West and North Norfolk

0%
 

Survey undertaken by Community Action Norfolk (CAN) as part of its support for West and North Norfolk.

We want to understand the experiences of Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations and groups supporting communities and individuals in West and North Norfolk.

Through this survey and other research we will improve awareness amongst statutory stakeholders of the value of the VCSE Sector across West and North Norfolk, its needs and the pressures faced by those providing support.  We will explore local relationships with statutory organisations/services and hear your views on collaborative and partnership working. 

Community Action Norfolk (CAN) would value small and larger VCSE organisations/groups completing this survey.  We are also running a series of workshops to explore themes in more detail, contact office@communityactionnorfolk.org.uk if you are interested in attending.  Information about the outcomes of the survey will automatically be sent to all respondents who share an email address.

If you have any questions about the survey or would like to talk to us about this work in more detail contact Tasha Higgins at Community Action Norfolk (CAN) on office@communityactionnorfolk.org.uk
