The Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (ICB) recognises the importance of the Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Sector in supporting communities across Norfolk. It is therefore vital that the ICB develops a better understanding of the services the VCSE Sector delivers and the factors affecting their delivery.
With this in mind, the ICB’s North and West Place Teams have commissioned a survey to be undertaken by Community Action Norfolk (CAN). It will explore the landscape of available support across West and North Norfolk. It also seeks to widen understanding of the strengths, challenges and opportunities faced by the VCSE Sector. Furthermore, it is an opportunity for organisations of all sizes to share their experiences and have their voices heard.
The survey results and accompanying research will be used to:
Your organisation or group does not have to be delivering health services or activities to contribute to this research and make a difference. We encourage all VCSE organisations operating in West and North Norfolk to take part in this survey, whether large or small, charities or social enterprises, faith or community groups.
Completing the survey will take about 30 minutes. There is a ‘save and continue later’ option so you don’t have to complete it all at once. We know that this is a big ask, but the information you provide is vital in understanding and supporting the landscape we are all working in. Thank you in advance and do share this with colleagues and partners.
You can access the survey here until Monday 24th February 2025.
If you would prefer to share your views verbally, there will be locally run workshops across West and North Norfolk (see below). You can also talk through the survey 1:1 with a member of the CAN team. If you are interested in either of these alternative approaches, please contact CAN by email here or call 01362 698216 (this will go to voicemail but leave us a message and we will get back to you).
