What is Norfolk LINk?

Norfolk LINk is an independent organisation made up of volunteers, aged 18 years and over, that seeks to influence and improve the health and social care services provided in Norfolk. Norfolk LINk is supported by a team of staff based at Voluntary Norfolk.

How does Norfolk LINk work?

Norfolk LINk works with local people, groups and organisations to find out their experiences and thoughts on the health and social care services they receive – what works well, what does not work and what could be better. Norfolk LINk also works with the organisations that buy and provide these services to help shape services and improve things for the future.
