Since launching, the Trust has supported many causes including mental health charities, healthcare organisations, sports clubs, the elderly community, children’s charities, veterans, and animal welfare organisations.
In the first year, £250,000 was awarded to charities and community groups including local cancer charity Big C, which supports patients living with a cancer diagnosis and their families at its Support and Information Centres throughout East Anglia. The money also helped to fund world-leading cancer research undertaken at Norwich Research Park.
In the second year, £339,000 was awarded to a range of organisations including Raspberry Pi Foundation, Read for Good, MS Society, The Feed, and Samaritans.
And in the third year, £520,000 was donated, taking the total awarded so far since the Trust’s inception to over £1.1m. A mix of regional and national charities and community groups have been helped by the Trust though the award of grants.
