Service Summary
The Volunteer and Awareness Co-ordinator post is hosted by West Norfolk
Befriending but will be working across the entire CAP partner organisations.
CAP is a formal partnership of eight experienced local carers’ support
organisations, commissioned by Norfolk County Council and Norfolk’s five
NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups, to provide the Adult Carers Support
Service (16+) in Norfolk.
CAP is led by Crossroads Care East Anglia; the other partners are: Norfolk
Carers Support, West Norfolk Carers, West Norfolk Befriending, Age UK
Norfolk, Norwich and Central Norfolk MIND, West Norfolk MIND and Great
Yarmouth and Waveney MIND.
CAP offers a range of services and support and is the one stop shop for:
• Information and Advice
• One-to-one support and Advocacy
• Befriending
• Emotional Support
• Short Breaks
CAP works closely with the Carers Council for Norfolk to raise awareness of
carers’ issues and needs and to develop our services.
Access to the CAP service is through the Carers Agency Partnership
Helpline which is the front door to the carers’ services in Norfolk provided by
CAP.
West Norfolk Befriending brings their experience of working with Volunteers to
the CAP partnership.
West Norfolk Befriending works with socially isolated older people. Many of
our clients are socially isolated due to their role as an unpaid family carer, or
due to a long term physical or sensory disability.
West Norfolk Befriending aims to reduce social isolation and improve life
quality by matching isolated older people with a trained DBS checked, and
fully inducted volunteer befriender, who will visit them on a regular basis. In
addition to offering regular visits such contact helps clients maintain their
independence, improves quality of life, identifies risks to health &
environment, and where possible facilitates reintegration to community life.
