Empowering Communities Partnership supports the wider voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector in Norfolk. Voluntary Norfolk and Community Action Norfolk are working together with strategic partners Norfolk Community Advice Network, FUSE Norwich and Norfolk Community Foundation to support Norfolk’s VCSE organisations.
The support includes things like information, advice, training or hands on support. It also includes help with finding funding and applying for grants. There’s also support with both finding and keeping volunteers.
Head to our Empowering Communities website to find out more about what the Empowering Communities partnership does.
The Empowering Communities partnership is funded by Norfolk County Council and replaces the Working Together partnership which ran from 2017-2021.

We issue a series of regular, subject specific, e-newsletters for people working and volunteering in the VCSE sector. The newsletters are Partnership News, Jobs News, Volunteering Opportunities and Youth Work Network News. You can subscribe to just one newsletter or as many as you wish and it is easy to unsubscribe at any time.

Voluntary Sector Forum (Children, Young People and Families)
We co-ordinate the Voluntary Sector Forum (Children Young People & Families) which provides a means for two-way engagement between the voluntary community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector and statutory partners.
