Bookings for this date have now closed but please see alternative dates below to book on one of our other dates. Many of you have told us that you cannot wait to get back to meeting people face-to-face again and we have listened. We are working on a series of small, social distanced in person networking events*, where you can get outside and start meeting new people in real life! This is the first of (hopefully) many exclusive networking events and with your wellbeing being so important than ever before, what better way to give it a boost than by learning a new sport (paddleboarding), networking with fellow business professionals on the Norfolk Boards and interacting in a fun way. Setting off from Horning, Boards on the Broads is an in-person networking event that is good for you, good for your business and good for local charity. All proceeds that are raised from these fun networking sessions with a difference will be donated to East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices.
Who’s it for?
Business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, young businesses and anyone who wants to connect and engage with other businesses in the Norfolk area.

A love of the water, a chilled sundowner and a good old natter is what brought Liz and Katie together and has helped shape what Go Paddle is all about. Their paths to getting here have been wildly different but getting to meet new folk and share the pretty awesome Norfolk Broads by paddle is now what they do best.
What to wear
• As a general rule we say to dress for the weather. Quick drying clothes are the best (and avoid cottons/jeans as they can be uncomfortable when wet) If its chilly we have a small selection of wetsuits for hire. If you have your own wetsuit/rash vests – then bring them. • For your feet we suggest old footwear (ideally flip flops) to wear on the riverside.
*We are doing everything we can to bring you this event in June by following government COVID guidelines. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic we may have to cancel this event at short notice if circumstances arise that are out of our control. Please also note that this event will be postponed should we have extremely bad weather conditions which will make this activity unsafe.

Join us online on Thursday 26 November (6-7:30pm), as we officially launch the Norwich Institute of Healthy Ageing (NIHA).
NIHA is a new research centre made of more than 200 researchers from across UEA. They will work with the community, local government and researchers from the Norwich Research Park on a range of projects to improve health and lives in the region.
From UEA, researchers from Norwich Medical School, the School of Health Sciences, Norwich Business School, the School of Biological Sciences and the School of Computing Sciences will work collaboratively, with support from UEA Health and Social Care Partners.
They will be joined by colleagues from Quadram Institute, the Earlham Institute, the John Innes Centre and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital to research areas including nutrition, physical activity, smoking cessation, sleep, social activity and medication adherence. Researchers will also look to understand behaviour change and the implications of behaviour on health and wellbeing.
The new partnership will also work with the wider community, Public Health Norfolk, Norwich City Council, Norfolk County Council and the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) to ensure that the research is translated into real change for better local and wider public health.
The online launch event will be hosted by UEA Vice Chancellor Prof David Richardson and Institute Director Prof Anne-Marie Minihane.
A keynote speech will be given by George MacGinnis – Challenge Director, Healthy Ageing, UKRI followed by ‘Pecha Kucha’ presentations and an ‘Ask me Anything’ Q&A, where members of the public can submit questions for the panel. We are asking for questions to be submitted in advance.
