Tackling poverty, deprivation and disadvantage in Norfolk
Our vision is of vibrant and strong communities, where everybody can live independent, safe, and happy lives.
We achieve our vision through providing a range of community-based services and support for individuals who often fall through the gaps in other services. Typically, these are people that may be marginalised or excluded, who may struggle to engage, face complex interconnected issues, and simply cannot access the help they need — in the way they need it — anywhere else.
As such, this means working across various themes, including health, housing, education, volunteering, employment, skills, and more. We organise our work into three key services:
Community Support and Advice Services
Special School for Children with SEND
Norwich’s Community Radio Station
