Together, Norfolk shines brighter

Helping you to make great things happen in your community.

Here for Norfolk, here for good

Norfolk Community Foundation is a charity dedicated to building stronger communities and improving the lives of people in Norfolk.

We bring people together who want to make a difference where they live — whether they step up to take action themselves, or support those who do with an investment of funding or time.

Supporting over 2,000 small charitable groups working on the ground, our work touches 1 in 4 people in Norfolk – from those dependent on local practical and social support, to whole communities benefiting from improved buildings and green spaces.

By bringing people together, we can do more. What can you do?

Thank you for backing young people in Norfolk.

Thank you to everyone who followed, shared and took an interest in our recent ‘Lost Generation’ appeal.

Youth skills are at crisis point across the UK. National leaders warn of a “lost generation” of young people not earning or learning. And here in Norfolk, we are already seeing this pressure every day.

But unlike elsewhere, Norfolk is not waiting. Community groups across the county have the solutions: practical, proven, rooted in local insight, and ready to deliver right now.

Together, donations to the appeal raised an additional £38,812!

When combined with funds already committed by some of our supporters, this means we can now move more projects into action.

This means we can support an additional estimated 272 young people to build practical skills, grow confidence and take steps towards employment. We are now ready to start funding projects that are primed to deliver support to young people across Norfolk, without delay.
