charities at the Worstead festival

Helping provide life-saving and ground-breaking equipment, staff development, research, and enhanced environment and facilities at our hospitals. 

The Charity funds projects that are over and above what the NHS must or should fund, supporting ‘additional’ benefits for patients.

Help adults of all genders who are experiencing loneliness and/or anxiety. We support people’s mental health with sound advice from the experiences of our members, as well as getting our members involved with various community projects such as woodwork and crafting.

With the help of our supporters, we create, maintain, and protect habitats which nurture a thriving variety of wildlife, including some of Norfolk's rarest species. We are dedicated to inspiring more people to connect with and take action for nature; through visiting our nature reserves, volunteering, or joining us as a member. 

Preparing young people with skills for life

We're Scouts and everyone is welcome here. Every week, we help almost half a million people aged 4-25 develop skills for life.

National Coastwatch (NCI) watchkeepers provide eyes and ears along the coast, keeping watch and monitoring radio channels to provide a listening watch in poor visibility. When people find themselves in trouble, we are there to alert HM Coastguard and direct the appropriate emergency and rescue services to the casualty.

Voluntary group dedicated to saving food from going to landfill, and using that food to feed hungry people.

Through partnerships forged with Neighbourly allowing access to end of the day unsold food, the food gets collected 7 days a week by our team of volunteers and quickly distributed to our volunteer or professional cooks, to our freezers for future meals, or into food parcels for those suffering food insufficiency in hostels and local communities.

We are the UK’s only charity dedicated to lymphoma, the fifth most common cancer. We're here to help, however you are affected. 

The 9 mile long waterway is Norfolk’s only locked wherry sailing canal and was opened in 1826.  Wherries would sail its length transporting cargo to and from the mills and communities along its route.

The Canal’s decline began with the arrival of the railway and over the following decades became choked with vegetation. By 2001 volunteers from the East Anglian Waterways Association (EAWA) were launched, and we now have regular working parties to rescue the Canal. The EAWA’s success led to the formation of the Canal Trust in January of 2008.

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

Seeking to weave faith, hope and love throughout our community. We are an inclusive, affirming church, offering a warm welcome to all, and a heart to serve our communities.
