About the Forum
The forum, vcsTogether - North Norfolk, is open to all voluntary and community organisations active in North Norfolk. There is no membership charge. The full Forum meets twice a year. The last one 'Influence- getting it and using it' was helo in June and the next one will be in the new year.
The Forum's activities are guided by a steering group which meets regularly, and is chaired by Leigh Vallance, Chief Executive of Break. If you would like to play an active part in this please contact Andrew Campbell.
With funding from the Big Lottery, a training and development support programme for organisations is delivered by Voluntary Norfolk throughout North Norfolk. This includes one-to-one support tailored for individual organisations and frequent events and group training sessions. There are also specialist collections of books and information sheets for running groups that can be borrowed at no cost from four Little Libraries around the district.
A specialist Community Transport Forum for groups providing transport services has been set up under the vcsTogether umbrella. This Forum covers West and North Norfolk.
