Frequently Asked Questions
Who else is involved?
We have a host organisation, a group of organisations led by Voluntary Norfolk, who provide support for the LINk by staffing the office, facilitating our working groups and by going out to speak to groups on our behalf. The other members of the consortium are Age Concern Norfolk, the Norfolk Coalition of Disabled People, University of East Anglia and West Norfolk Voluntary & Community Action.
We also work with Norfolk County Council who hold the contract for the work the host does. We report to the head of democratic services so that we remain independent from the parts of the County Council who buy or provide social care for adults.
