How working with us, supports your community

Partnering with CBR Business Solutions is more than just a business decision; it’s a commitment to make a step towards a more sustainable and ethical business environment.

The profits we generate provide an important income stream for Voluntary Norfolk. They works closely with partners in the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector as well as the public sector to bring a variety of services to individuals and communities across Norfolk. They have a team of over 90 dedicated employees coordinating volunteers, providing support to other voluntary organisations, and delivering commissioned services.

Here’s a snapshot of what our teams achieved during a 12-month period in 2023 – 2024:

  • We successfully supported 59% of our clients in our employment and skills service into work, job searching or training
  • Over 35,000 people attended our Freshly Greated events in Great Yarmouth
  • Our Better Together Life Connectors offered 5,642 hours of peer support to those struggling with loneliness
  • We supported the Men’s Shed network grow in Norfolk: there are now 29 Men’s Sheds in Norfolk (with further 4 in development) – more than in London
  • Our Christmas hamper campaign saw 150 hampers go to people struggling with the cost-of-living crisis in the Great Yarmouth area
  • Our Carers Matter team completed 89 Carers Breaks referrals, which provided much needed respite for unpaid carers
  • Our SOS Bus service helped 2,919 people on nights out in Norwich and was named ‘Team / Community Group of the Year’ at the EDP’s Stars of Norfolk and Waveney Awards
  • Over 4,800 volunteers are now registered on our volunteering platform – Get InVOLved Norfolk (over twice as many as last year)
  • We developed and launched the ‘Vision for Volunteering’, with a focus on making volunteering more inclusive, effective and sustainable
