Norfolk Unites Directory update
We have seen a huge upturn in people accessing the Norfolk Unites website. Over 300 different people accessed the Directory page alone in May – don’t miss out on the chance for your organisations’ service to be flagged up by anyone searching here. From the registered information, we have also been able to contact specific organisations concerning relevant current funding opportunities. Examples of this have been working with NEET individuals in Norwich and also for those working with those with disabilities. Ensure you do not miss out on the chance to contribute/benefit by registering with us on the Directory.
Funding updates
We have recently added information concerning the Transformation Fund (The Learning Revolution/ Summer of Learning launched by DIUS) by HEART Foyers interested to hear from any potential partners for their application. PAAVS, delivered by Community Connections, has also put itself forward to any organisation interested in getting their training programme accredited as part of any applications here. Also added is a fund from Children in Need for working with young people with disabilities. Remember, all these have tight timescales – we have put the information together to save individual searches and to make sure you find out in time. If you do come across anything that you may feel applicable for other organisations (such as the Children in Need fund which was kindly passed onto us by Move on East) then please let us know and we can bring it to other peoples’ awareness – Funding site.
