Help Hub Van driving support in the Community

South Norfolk and Broadland District Councils are bringing their much-valued services to their residents through their new Help Hub van. 

The van, which will officially launch in Spring 2024, will be targeting areas in the two districts where services are most requested, offering frontline support. 

Broadland District Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing, Cllr Natasha Harpley, said: “Our residents’ wellbeing is our top priority. The van means we can get to the heart of our communities and speak to people who can benefit most from our Help Hub services. Our team can advise with all sorts of issues, from help with benefits, to debt welfare advice, isolation, anti-social behaviour and domestic abuse.”

Councils support growth of 200 businesses

South Norfolk Council and Broadland District Council have helped over 200 businesses secure grants totalling almost £700,000, through the Business Builder programme.

This investment has accelerated growth and supported start-up companies, creating jobs and boosting the local economy. Alongside investment, business owners have also been able to access advice and training, tailored around each business and its specific needs.

South Norfolk Council’s Cabinet Member for Stronger, Greener Economy, Cllr Lisa Overton-Neal, said: “For many entrepreneurs, taking the next step to grow a business can be challenging. Lack of funds or a gap in knowledge or skills can put a stop to the best of plans. This is where the Business Builder programme can make a huge difference.”
