Norfolk Unites - why get involved?
Over the last couple of months we have met or been in contact with Norfolk County Council representatives, DWP Prime Contractors, the NHS, other relevant stakeholders and third sector representatives on your behalf. We have had lots of positive feedback about how useful it is for them to be able to find relevant groups on the Norfolk Unites Directory at the click of a button.
In April, we had over 800 people use the Norfolk Unites website, with over 500 using the Directory and 300 using the Funding pages alone. Perhaps you have been accessing the website but have not signed up your details to the Directory? Sign up now to ensure the opportunities and groups find you!
The more the momentum builds for Norfolk Unites, the more advantageous it is to be registered with us, so please jump on the bandwagon and come rolling along with us!
