South Norfolk

‘Trust matters.’ The first two words in the introduction to the Charity Commission’s report ‘Trust in Charities’.   In the light of the emergence of corruption and scandal in some large national and international charities, many managers and staff in the third sector are rightly concerned about how the public views them and the way they work.

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!

The UK’s National Health Service is rated best in the world. However, given the importance of the services it provides, each time something goes wrong is a potential tragedy, It’s important that if things can be put right they are and, if not, that lessons are learned.
