Welcome

Wells Area Partnership (WAP) is an independent community led organisation that works to improve the quality of life and the delivery of services in the Wells area of North Norfolk. It seeks to create a sustainable community longer term, looking at the social, economic and environmental needs of the area.

WAP is one of seven Area Partnerships in North Norfolk and works in the parishes of Burnham Market, Burnham Norton, Burnham Overy, Burnham Thorpe, North & South Creake, Walsingham, Holkham, Warham, Binham, Wighton, Hindringham, Stiffkey, Field Dalling, Wiveton, Blakeney, Cley, Morston, Langham and Wells. 

It’s membership consists of individuals, parish councils, community groups, businesses and statutory organisations such as the police and is open to all.

Our role is to :

• Consult local people and enable greater participation in decision-making about the area and services
• Create specific projects such as a local housing trust in Wells, that addresses local need and fills gaps in services
• Attract funding to the area such as securing a £10,000 community chest fund for use by local groups
• Act as a community resource such as co-ordinating community events and sharing equipment
