Voluntary Norfolk provides support for voluntary groups in Norfolk through a range of training, advice and partnership working to ensure that the county’s VCSE sector is able to thrive.
The Voluntary Norfolk Network
The Voluntary Norfolk Network is a way for groups to connect with us and each other, and to share ideas, skills and resources. Joining the Network is free and enables you to access networking and good practice events, training workshops, and resources and information to support your organisation. Networkers also receive access to our Padlet board, an online notice board where we share events, training, resources and information. Visit our Network page for more information and to sign up.
Empowering Communities
Voluntary Norfolk, Community Action Norfolk and Norfolk Community Foundation are funded by Norfolk County Council to provide support for voluntary groups in Norfolk and the wider VCSE (voluntary, community and social enterprise) sector in the county. We send our regular focused e-newsletters, run an annual conference and run the Voluntary Sector Forum (Children, Young People & Families). Visit our Empowering Communities page for more information.
Sign up to our e-newsletters
Our regular, subject specific, e-newsletters for people working and volunteering in the VCSE sector include Empowering Communities 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.

We can help your organisation recruit volunteers by advertising your volunteer roles on our portal and featuring opportunities in our Volunteer Newsletter which reaches over 3,000 potential volunteers in the county. Visit our Volunteer Recruitment page for more info.
Volunteer Management
We can support your organisation with the management of your volunteers, providing advice, guidance and template policies on issues such as recruiting, DBS checks, inducting and training volunteers. Visit our Volunteer Management page for more information.
