Waste is an issue for all of us and a major cost for many businesses. Norfolk County Council is keen to encourage new ideas and thinking that may bring about innovative ways of dealing with waste in Norfolk.
We believe the encouragement of a more entrepreneurial approach with new technology will improve waste management and present Norfolk businesses with both major savings and a potential commercial opportunity.
We believe more of Norfolk’s local business community can help us achieve this. The waste market in Norfolk is estimated to be worth around £100 million a year, of which the council’s responsibility for dealing with household waste accounts for £30 million.
Norfolk County Council is organising the Enterprise in Waste Summit at Norwich City Football Clubto enable representatives of Norfolk businesses to discuss a wide range of these waste related issues including:
• How businesses can manage waste more efficiently and reduce overheads • Opportunities for increasing recycling in Norfolk • The potential for hosting recycling facilities in your communities
All Norfolk business – large or small are welcome – as well as entrepreneurs, community interest companies, charities, voluntary organisations, parish and town council.
Booking is essential. To reserve a free place please email recycling@norfolk.gov.uk or call 0344 800 8020.

Fresh Start new beginnings hosted their second afternoon tea last Friday at the Mercure Norwich hotel. With over one hundred attendees, they also welcomed the Lord mayor, Sheriff and her consorts along with Deputy Lieutenant Alexandra Bartram and Karen Vincent Chairman of Norfolk County Council.
Fresh Start new beginnings provides therapeutic support for children and young people in Norfolk and Suffolk who have been victims of sexual abuse. As they continue to see demand for its services rise events like this become increasingly important to raise awareness.
The afternoon featured presentations from speakers Chris Sargisson and Jeremy Indika, about their lived experiences of child sexual abuse. Their bravery in sharing their stories, gave people an insight into how the trauma has impacted them throughout their lives, particularly when no support is available to them. They gave a voice to the 16000 children in Norfolk alone, that have been victims of sexual abuse. Highlighting the important work Fresh Start new beginnings do, that every child who has been affected by child sexual abuse should be able to access the support they need to recover and rebuild their futures.
Sandra Lucas – Corporate and event fundraiser says “We were so pleased with the positive feedback following the event. Many attendees commented that they had no idea about the prevalence of child sexual abuse. Since Friday we have been overwhelmed with the offers of support for the charity. We hope to continue to grow our service so that every child can access the support they want and need.”
With thanks to Larking Gowen for sponsoring the event, to all those that attended and to our speakers.
