The Linda Norgrove Foundation is a grant giving trust, which provides funding for women, families and children in Afghanistan. The Foundation offers help with regard to education and health, childcare including orphanages, and scholarships so that Afghan women can go to University. The Trust has been set up in memory of Linda Norgrove who was kidnapped and subsequently died during a failed rescue attempt in Afghanistan in October 2010. Linda was devoted to ensuring that the people of Afghanistan would achieve prosperity and stability as their country was rebuilt. She was completely committed to her development work and she loved Afghanistan and its people. We have set up this fund in our daughter Linda’s name to continue her work. We have given £100,000 from her and our life savings to demonstrate our commitment to the Foundation. The Foundations Trustees will not be remunerated and will only receive reasonable expenses. The Trustees will ensure that the charity’s funds will be devoted entirely to the charity’s objectives.

The name ‘Iolanthe’ comes from the origin of the finances used to set up the Trust in 1983 from the sale of Iolanthe House in South Kensington, London, previously the home of W.S. Gilbert of ‘Gilbert and Sullivan’ fame. The Trust gives a range of grants and awards, with the best known being annual awards for qualified midwives to enhance their professional development through such activities as further education, travel and attendance at conferences; and support for student midwives to experience additional educational opportunities or undertake elective placements. In addition there are larger awards given from time to time to promote research and reward best practice within the field of midwifery and the maternity services. Since 1983, the Trust has supported hundreds of midwives and students, all of whom have expressed their appreciation at being selected by a unique charity run by midwives for midwives. The distinction of gaining an award has often given midwives a boost to morale and confidence that has helped them take their career forward and make a real difference to care for mothers and babies.
