West Norfolk Carers Community Network

We have been working in West Norfolk to create a Carers Community Network. The aim of the network is to increase awareness of Carers and the support available to improve Carers health and wellbeing and reduce isolation. Since the closure of West Norfolk Carers, it was more important that ever to ensure Carers in the West Norfolk area have access to the support they need.

We have been working to bring together local organisation and services to build a stronger, more connected network for Carers in West Norfolk.

Purpose of the Carers Community Network:

Connect organisations and groups based in the West Norfolk
Raise awareness of Carers and the support available within the local area
Share information about local activities and events organised by network organisations
To be invited to attend West Norfolk Carer Involvement Meetings.
Share advice, contributions and feedback from network members

Learn and share successes

Carers Wellness and Information Event- 30th October 2025

Carers Voice held a Carers Wellness and Information Event in Kings Lynn on 30th October. This was an open event for unpaid Carers of all ages including Parent Carers and Young Carers. The Carers Wellness and Information event was centred on providing Carers of all ages, including Parent Carers and Young Carers the opportunity to focus on their wellness and have a crucial break from their caring role as well as accessing local support. Three Wellness Therapists attended to provide free taster hand reflexology, seated Indian head massage and foot reflexology. Local organisations attended to share information about a range of support in the local area.

We have created a document with information about the organisations.
