About Caring Together
Caring Together Charity supports people who look after someone in their family who has a long term illness, is disabled, or is frail due to age. With services across Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, the charity supports 17,000 unpaid carers and their families every year.
Unpaid carers could be looking after an elderly parent with dementia, a partner with a cancer diagnosis, or a sibling who has a disability. We support carers as young as 5 years old, up to people over 100! Caring for someone can be exhausting, overwhelming and emotionally distressing. We provide practical support to prevent unpaid carers from being in crisis, struggling alone, or feeling isolated.

Passing the Baton!
The successful transfer of a business is often the key to a comfortable retirement yet each year an estimated 100,000 businesses simply fade away because no one wants to take them on.
While both buyers and sellers tend, perhaps rightly, to place an empahsis on past financial performance this seminar looks at non-financial factors that may give a better indication of future potential. We will argue that addressing cultural issues and creating appropriate internal and external structures are important elements in preparing a business for sale or transfer.
We draw on first-hand research conducted over three years at the UEA to look at practical ways to make more of a success of succession.
Friday May 17th 2013
8.45 for 9.00 (A light Breakfast included) and 12.15 for 12.30 (A light Lunch included)
These sessions are free of charge but places are limited.

Join us at Tyrell’s Restaurant at Snetterton Circuit for the next South Norfolk Focus Event. As well as having the opportunity to discuss key topics, you’ll also be able to network with fellow businesses.
Our aim is to have groups in many cities, towns, market towns, and villages across Norfolk, to connect, support, and give voice to every business in Norfolk. These groups are accessible to all businesses, whether you are a Chambers member or a non-member.
These groups will provide you with a platform to debate issues that are most important to you, and your business and the Chamber network will lobby and influence on your behalf, using our dedicated team, our website, social media channels, and our digital platform.
Your feedback will be used by our team and the Chamber’s Board to help shape the strategic direction of Norfolk Chambers to ensure we can truly be the voice of Norfolk businesses.
Whether the local challenge is skills, road, rail, digital infrastructure, recruitment, or the rising costs of doing business, we want to hear from you.
