People and partnership

People are the best asset in any initiative, project or activity. And partnerships can bring out the best in people.

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. We are available to offer advice and guidance at every stage, from the initial idea to helping you develop partnerships and providing advice on how to structure and build on them.

As an organisation our aim is to build a stronger, fairer Norfolk through support, empowerment and strategic partnership with voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Through our work on VCSE Engage alongside our partner Momentum (Norfolk) we are working to support collaboration within the wider voluntary, community and social enterprise sector. There is an appetite within the sector to work more closely together to reduce costs, provide a wider range of activities or offer more joined-up services for beneficiaries, and raise profiles. Funders are also increasingly looking for evidence of partnership working when making decisions about funding.
