Nourishing Norfolk Evaluation

Helping individuals and communities to thrive

The Nourishing Norfolk programme evolved from a pilot activity in Thetford in 2020. As the leading grant maker of community activity in Norfolk, the Community Foundation has a unique view of emerging community challenges, identified through the applications we receive for grants. During Covid we had seen a growing demand from community charities to pivot their offer and provide food in addition to their usual support offer. It was clear that until households could afford to eat, they were not able to tackle issues that led them to or kept them in poverty. Our aspiration with the programme has always been to understand what levers need to be in place to help individuals and communities to thrive.
