Adding your service If you provide a service or activity in Norfolk, you can add and maintain your own record(s) Click on ‘Add your service’ in the header Complete the form If accepted, you will be emailed and invited to set a password and account security Once completed, you can start adding records.

Adding services (staff) If you are staff at an organisation like a council, or a voluntary or health organisation, and want to add a range of services on behalf of the providers, contact communitydirectory@norfolk.gov.uk We will set you up as a ‘super-user’ so you can add and maintain a range of records on behalf of the providers, who are not be able to maintain their own. Or we can investigate how we might feed in a set of records that are held in another database from your organisation, eg healthcare records from NHS Heron.
