Voluntary Sector Forum (C&YP) - Norfolk

The Voluntary Sector Forum (Children & Young People) is open to any voluntary organisation or charity which works with this target group within Norfolk. It exists to provide a voice for the sector at a strategic level within the County and an effective mechanism for members to discuss key issues.

• support people dealing with a specific issue (such as drugs or special needs)

• provide a service for adults as well as children, or be entirely focused on young people.

The Voluntary Sector Forum holds quarterly county-wide meetings, has various sub-groups relating to specific areas of work, and a monthly e-news as well as access to a secure page on our website.
