The 2022 Norfolk VCSE Annual Conference, facilitated by the Empowering Communities Partnership, will take place between Monday 21st and Thursday 24th November 2022. Recent years have shown us the power of collaboration and partnership in meeting shared goals and getting better outcomes for communities and individuals. In times of crisis we have to ‘do different’ yet build on what we have learned in recent years, hence the theme of this year’s Conference is ‘Building VCSE Resilience through the Power of Partnerships and Collaboration’. During the week virtual events will explore key themes which are essential to the VCSE as we move into a challenging winter, including workforce resilience, collaborative partnership working, advocating and influencing, and the role of Networks and Forums. On Wednesday 23rd November a face-to-face event in Norwich will provide an opportunity to come together in-person as a VCSE community to engage with and learn from our sector colleagues and wider stakeholders and professionals.
