Growing use of Norfolk Unites
Norfolk Unites is increasingly being seen as the place to go for information on the Norfolk third sector. Last month, we had over 750 different people access the website, with numbers increasing all the time. What do people find when they access Norfolk Unites?
- They find information on organisations on the Norfolk Unites Directory, where possible partners, referrals or support can easily be found by clicking on the location, service users and type of service categories
- People find collated funding opportunities on the Funding page, organisations also being able to advertise for partners on their applications
- Organisations signed up to the Directory receive funding news SPECIFIC TO THEM which helps increase take up of opportunity.
If you haven't already, sign up to the Directory and not only will you receive funding news RELEVANT TO YOU but you will also be on the radar of people looking through the Directory for organisations working with the types of people or delivering the types of service that you may be able to provide. For 10 minutes of your time - and it’s FREE - it won’t hurt! Please pass this onto other people or groups if you feel it could be also of benefit to them.
