Priscilla Bacon Lodge Support Group

The group funds specialist equipment, enhanced catering, patient and family transport, art and music therapy, complementary therapies, and bereavement support. It supports capital items, furnishings, small comforts, and service extensions such as relaxed family rooms or home-based palliative care in Norfolk. All funding is directed to Priscilla Bacon Lodge or closely affiliated Norfolk partners with direct ties to patient care, focusing on tangible improvements to the hospice's physical and emotional environment.

Eligibility is highly restrictive: the group does not accept unsolicited applications and focuses exclusively on Priscilla Bacon Lodge or closely affiliated Norfolk partners with direct ties to patient care. External charities must demonstrate clear alignment via internal staff referrals. The group prioritises the elderly, disabled individuals, children, young people, and families receiving palliative care. No income thresholds apply, but organisations must have direct links to the hospice's patient care.

The group does not fund core costs, capacity building, or unrelated initiatives. It avoids any projects not directly tied to Priscilla Bacon Lodge's patient care or closely affiliated Norfolk partners. Unsolicited applications are not accepted, and funding is not available for organisations without direct ties to the hospice.

The group is distinctively non-bureaucratic and relationship-driven, working by invitation rather than accepting unsolicited applications. It funds targeted grants for specific needs identified by Lodge staff, focusing on tangible improvements. The group avoids core costs and capacity building, differentiating itself through agility and embedded local expertise.
