Partnership
In order to discuss the provision of advice in Norfolk, NCAN hold Strategic Partnership meetings every two months at various locations across the County.
These meetings bring together strategic leads from accredited and affiliate NCAN member organisations, which includes the advice and VCSE sector, Public Sector, Norfolk County Council, District Councils, Health and commissioners.
These meetings are by invite only. If you would like your organisation to be represented or you would like to attend, please contact us to make an enquiry.
