CAN Connect

The CAN Connect service is led by Community Action Norfolk and is part of a range of services across Norfolk aimed at reducing loneliness and isolation. The services can help individuals connect with people and activities in their community as well as providing a range of support to help them achieve their goals. The service can also provide support for the community itself.  Helping organisations and people make the places we live, stronger, friendlier and more resilient.
