The Community Support Hub Network will form part of a wider Norfolk-wide network and link in with the national volunteer line which was recently announced by Central Government.
In the first instance, the volunteers will be directed to support nearby ‘vulnerable people’, with a comprehensive list being drawn up using data held by local councils, the NHS, Adult Social Care, Children’s Services and Public Health.
Cllr Sam Chapman-Allen, Breckland Council’s Leader, commented: “It has been fantastic to see so many local councillors and members of our communities putting themselves forward to help people in-need. This new Norfolk-wide volunteering portal will help ensure that people who are volunteering their time can be directed to helping some of the most vulnerable and in-need neighbours in their area.”
People who would like to volunteer – or who are volunteering already – can register online at https://www.voluntarynorfolk.
