Love Norfolk
Enabling communities to thrive with vital funding.
Small and local charities continue to see a rise in demand as people face challenges from the cost-of-living crisis to the pandemic, and yet many of these groups have seen a loss in funding in recent years. Despite this, Norfolk’s charities are imaginative, creative, and ingenious when it comes to overcoming the problems their communities are facing.
We believe things work best when led by community knowledge and experience. Through investing in community-led solutions, neighbourhoods are more vibrant, and individuals have more opportunities. To help build stronger communities and create neighbourhood places to belong and thrive, we’ve been providing grassroots funding to ensure charitable organisations have the resources they need to address local challenges so individuals can live well and connect with their communities.
From giving children access to free bikes to putting on cooking activities; providing free exercise classes to reducing social isolation, the Love Norfolk Fund provides an injection of possibility where other funding opportunities can’t – all while keeping communities in the driving seat.
We need your help to take action and continue to fund these local projects, helping bring everyone together to create vibrant communities.
Discover the impact of our work to strengthen communities
“Without funding like Love Norfolk, we’re not able to make that difference, and the people we work with are the most forgotten. We’re able to show them that their lives are still valued and valid.”
“Without this I would have been staring at the same four walls, no interaction with others. It has really helped with my mental wellbeing. It’s great to see how much our craft group helps with people living on their own in a rural community.”
“Freedom Friday is my get out day. I love attending the group and meeting new people. I look forward to it all week and it has really helped with my depression.”
