Community Action Norfolk is hosting a series of discussion events, on behalf of the Rural Development Strategy steering group, looking at economic development in Norfolk's rural communities.
There are around 10,000 village and community halls across England. They’re key elements in local communities, providing a space for social events, fitness sessions, education and a host of other benefits. Around 450 such venues can be found across Norfolk, and at CAN we’re out there helping many of them with advice on funding, governance, project management and trustee training.
Monday 20th - Sunday 26th January 2020 is Village Halls Week - celebrating everything good about our community venues across the county and the country!
Rural bus services in Norfolk won’t improve and some routes could be lost unless the government makes more money available to support them, is the warning from bus operators in the county.
