Nova Training Just to inform you that as from 6th July we are back in centres. We are still going to deliver online education but in addition to this we will be able to offer centre attendance for learners that this may benefit. We are available for referrals, as some of you are aware we have tweaked our programme slightly with a bigger push on employability to give learners the necessary skills to progress into the working environment or further education. Please feel free to call myself or Sean Whiley our centre recruitment officer for Great Yarmouth to discuss any support that we can offer our young learners in the region. Look forward to hearing from you all. Great Yarmouth Centre 01493 650647

Promoting activities for families

Do you run a local community group for families, or do you know someone who does?

Did you know you can use the Norfolk Community Directory to promote your services and activities and help get more people involved?

If you provide services, activities and/or events for Norfolk families with children aged 0-5, you can register for an online account that enables you to promote your service on the Norfolk Community Directory. Once set up, you can add new services and return to your account to keep your listings up to date. To find out more visit the Norfolk County Council website www.norfolk.gov.uk and follow the link .

If your service is for families with children aged 0-5, please could you put ‘0-5 Community offer’ in the notes.
