We are delighted to announce the winners of our annual photo competition, celebrating the vital work of small charities and community groups in Norfolk.

Held as part of the Norfolk Day festivities, our competition aimed to highlight the tireless efforts of inspiring community and voluntary groups throughout the county.

We received over 300 entries from more than 100 local community groups as part of the competition. The images demonstrated the breadth and depth of what happens when we come together to make sure everyone in Norfolk can flourish, and included pictures of youth projects, older people’s activities, sports clubs, community growing projects and groups supporting those struggling with the rising cost of living.

At the Foundation, we are proud to support over 2,000 grassroots community groups. Its work positively impacts 1 in 4 people locally by directing funding and support to where it is most needed.

Thank you to all the groups who sent us photos – keep an eye out on our social media and print publications throughout the year to see your group featured! #ShineBrighter
