Research and Insight
At Norfolk Community Foundation we believe people and communities have the best understanding of what they need and should be able to shape the places they live and the services they use.
While our community research work focuses on building new knowledge into a particular topic or area, we also work to gather and share insight by conducting research that analyses data that already exists – collected by ourselves and partners.
Our unique position as a local grant funder and role as a convenor and connector between different networks and partnerships, means that we can access and share a wealth of insight into local communities and support people to take action on what they’ve learned.
“The Norfolk Community Foundation are the experts when it comes to understanding the role that charities play and in knowing what support was needed in order to get down to a grassroots level.”
