The Norfolk ProHelp Scheme is part of our Good for Good initiative (created by The Norfolk Community Foundation) and comprises of a wide range of businesses that are based or operating in Norfolk and are committed to making a difference in our local community. The ProHelp members do this by providing free advice and support to the voluntary and not-for-profit sector. Businesses can get involved in ProHelp in whatever way works best for them – through one-to-one matches with charity projects where their expertise makes things happen, or group learning and information sessions that can reach several of groups across the county helping them to overcome common challenges. Once they join, they will be awarded a Good for Good kite mark and become part of a growing network of like-minded businesses.
There are some areas we currently need support in, which include:
- Websites – building basic websites for charities and community groups that they can own and update themselves.
- Business Planning – helping to create business plans which enables organisations to apply for grants.
- Accountancy – VAT advice, general accountancy support.
- Surveying – Condition surveys are needed to apply for grants to make improvements to community buildings.
- Architect – Plans/drawings enable local VCSEs to apply for grants to change or improve their space.
- Legal support – particularly around commercial leases.
