Breckland Community Network

Community Networks bring together the creativity and dedication of local groups and organisations to deliver meaningful services and activities, that make a difference to people's lives. By working together, we can build stronger connections and create the conditions for everyone in Breckland to thrive.

What is the Breckland Community Network?

Breckland Community Network brings together voluntary organisations, community groups and partners at all levels who wish to connect, discuss key topics, share best practice, and learn more about improving health and wellbeing in Breckland.

Membership to the Network includes invitations to regular in-person events to discuss and share ways to overcome common barriers, or enhance or develop new initiatives to help improve what's on offer in our district.

We've also developed anonline portal of resources, to help support Network members with the information they need to thrive.

Our community groups are vital in providing the right system of support to meet people's needs and we have established a network of peers, with the knowledge and expertise to help each other deliver the best services and activities.

Breckland Community Network is free to join.

Community Network Events

Held quarterly, our in-person network events give members the chance to come together to chat, learn and develop new ideas.

Each session includes speakers and organisations who will share their expertise on topics that matter most and could have significant benefit to our Network.

Previous discussion topics have included:

Coordinated by the Communities team, all events are bookable online and VCSE organisations will be reimbursed £25 per session attended (subject to available grant funding)

The Community Network will receive information on these events through the regular mailing list.
