What we do
Signpost to services
There are services across Norfolk to support with most issues, but it can be hard to navigate them. Contact us by phone, email or our webform to find the right service.
Structural Advocacy
We aim to promote the rights of disadvantaged groups. Examples of this include:
-
Working with local organisations such as district councils and the NHS
-
Campaigns
-
Providing training
-
Creating awareness of issues
-
Creating and improving service offers
Connect organisations
Through networking, co-production and other partnerships, we establish connections with other organisations in the sector. Connecting with them and each other helps us to improve our intersectional approach.
Promote and improve advocacy
Many people who may benefit from advocacy services do not know that they exist. By promoting advocacy in Norfolk, we can attract more funding and increase our service offer.
​
We share knowledge, attend training and constantly strive to improve our services.
