We have been asked to share an opportunity to get involved in shaping research priorities in same day and urgent care research by the Norfolk & Waveney ICB.
The Government has announced significant welfare reforms aimed at helping disabled people and those with long-term health conditions into work. Backed by a £1 billion investment, these changes are designed to provide better employment support and update the benefits system. While the reforms aim to create more opportunities, they also raise concerns about how existing benefits and eligibility criteria may be affected. Here’s what you need to know about the changes and where to find support.
We are sharing this on behalf of the Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust.
"We have recently introduced a new leadership structure which saw us replace our care groups with five new localities at the start of 2025. The move will make it easier for us to collaborate for the benefit of our service users and deliver consistent, high-quality care in the places where people live, work and access services."
On average someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer every 90 seconds and an average of 460 people die from the disease every day. So what can we do to slow the effect of this devastating disease.
Kate Doe, CAN’s new Talking About Cancer Together Project Officer, will be connecting with a wide range of voluntary organisations, community groups and other stakeholders across Norfolk to increase confidence in talking about cancer and awareness of the wide range of support available.
CAN is working in partnership with Future Projects in combating social isolation in the Breckland and North Norfolk districts of the county. We'd be grateful if those reading this and living or working in Breckland or North Norfolk could share this information - especially to anyone you know who may be interested in volunteering. Thank you.
Inspired by the experience of shielding as the pandemic hit, the Rainbow Art Making Club was set up by two Thorpe St Andrew mums to help promote wellbeing, celebrate kindness and connect people in the community.
