The Friends of the Elderly provide financial support to those most in need through their grant giving service, in order to help prevent many older people having to choice between heating their homes and other essentials.
Fuel poverty affects more than 4.5 million households in UK and more than 25,000 households in Norfolk. It can be caused by numerous factors: low income, poor heating and insulation and unaffordable energy prices. It can severely impact on health and wellbeing and contributes to excess winter deaths and rising NHS costs.
Assets come in many guises, land, buildings, people, skills, income. At Community Action Norfolk we understand how important your assets are and the need to get the most from them.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received from the NHS, the NHS Complaints Advocacy Service can help. The complaints process is a way of helping you resolve issues you have faced, and is also important in helping us improve the NHS care in Norfolk.
Working with other groups and organisations can bring huge benefits to all involved. The development and management of these relationships can also sometimes bring its own challenges! Community Action Norfolk can work through these alongside you.
