Norwich Charitable Trusts

Norwich Consolidated Charities REFERRAL ACCEPTED THROUGH NCAN FROM NAS ONLY

We consider grants to individuals with children for essential household items such as cookers, beds, washing machines and flooring. We are unable to help with regular household bills.  We welcome enquiries from people with children who have identified ways that they could escape poverty but need some financial support to achieve their goals.

We can also help with Bankruptcy or Debt Relief Order (DROs) fees if you are referred by one of our trusted partner organisations (please ask your debt advisor).
