I had a valuable discussion with Norfolk Community Foundation (NCF), a charity dedicated to improving lives and building stronger communities across the county. NCF provides guidance, funding, and resources to local charities and community groups.

The Foundation’s work reaches an impressive one in four people in Norfolk. They encourage individuals, businesses, and organisations to donate or invest their time to help create positive change in their communities.

Norfolk Community Foundation has six key missions:

– Nourishing Norfolk: To promote a healthier community through better access to food.
– Young People’s Mental Health: Supporting the wellbeing of young people across the county.
– ‘Love Norfolk’ Enables communities to thrive and make Norfolk a great place to live.
– ‘A Better Childhood’: Strengthening family bonds and providing support for children.
– Skills for Norfolk: Equipping individuals with essential skills for work and life.
– Greening Our Communities: “Encouraging local action to drive global climate impact”.

It was inspiring to learn about the charity’s commitment to addressing these challenges and its dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of Norfolk residents.
