Norfolk Community Advice Network (NCAN)

NCAN is a working network of over 40 organisations from Norfolk’s voluntary, public and private sectors, who provide advice, advocacy and casework on a wide range of legal matters, particularly in the area of social welfare law. We lead the Steering Group for this project. The principal aim of the network is ‘to ensure that Norfolk residents can access good quality legal information, advice, assistance and representation at a time or place when they need them most.’

With the assistance of Big Lottery funding we will be recruiting for two new posts shortly to take this project to its next stage.
