norfolkcommunityhealthandcare.nhs.ukAbout Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust Charitable Fund
The Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust Charitable Fund is an independent registered charity that serves as the sole corporate trustee for the NHS Trust. Its mission is to enhance patient care, experiences, and outcomes beyond what core NHS provision offers, across more than 70 healthcare locations in Norfolk, from Norwich to rural areas like Wymondham and Kelling. Rooted in compassion, partnership, and responsiveness to the needs of patients, families, carers, and staff, the Fund raises money through donations, legacies, and grants. It focuses on evidence-led improvements, including specialist equipment, staff training, therapeutic environments, and wellbeing activities, aiming to deliver community healthcare that is both effective and compassionate.
What Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust Charitable Fund funds
The Fund supports a wide range of initiatives that go beyond statutory NHS care. Priorities include medical and rehabilitation equipment, patient amenities such as green spaces, toys, and therapy animals, and enhancements to palliative care services. It also funds interventions for people with learning disabilities, mental and physical health initiatives, and upgrades to wards and waiting rooms. Staff professional development is another key area, alongside wellbeing activities that support prevention, self-care, and recovery. All funded projects must be within the Trust's Norfolk footprint, and the Fund works collaboratively with hospital Leagues of Friends, local voluntary organisations, and NHS Charities Together to deliver measurable local impact.
Who can apply
Eligibility is tightly restricted to projects within the Trust's Norfolk footprint. The Fund prioritises needs identified internally by NHS staff, service leads, or through patient feedback. External charities or organisations are not invited to apply unsolicited; they must first engage with Trust staff or partners to discuss potential projects. There are no income thresholds or specified entity types, but support favours collaborative efforts with small to medium local groups that enhance NHS care. Beneficiaries include people of all ages, backgrounds, and conditions, with a particular focus on vulnerable groups.
What Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust Charitable Fund doesn't fund
The Fund excludes core operational costs, unrestricted grants, and any activities that fall outside the scope of statutory NHS enhancements. Projects that do not directly benefit patients within the Trust's Norfolk footprint are not considered.
How they like to fund
The Fund works through internal processes, with grants typically ranging from small to medium amounts on a rolling basis. There is no public application route; instead, phone enquiries or partnership channels are the first step. The Fund does not accept unsolicited applications and operates by invitation or through established relationships with Trust staff and partners.
