NORCA has developed innovative projects and initiatives, which often have objectives above and beyond their artistic focus NORCA was originally formed to run a community arts venue, Waterloo Park Pavilion, which we gave up in July 2006 Through involvement in the arts, NORCA will offer people the opportunity and tools to be active, confident participators and creators, and help communities discover, develop and use their ability to express themselves through creativity Although a difficult decision to make, it was clear that the Pavilion was not meeting the aspirations that we had set for it and we decided to concentrate on project and programme development, where we have had considerable success in gaining funding and delivering exciting, groundbreaking arts provision Community facilities are close to our heart and we still feel there is a desperate need for such facilities in Norwich
