We are not a charity that is easy to define. Serious social problems don't fit neatly into boxes for a single solution. We believe diverse people with different needs require different responses, long term commitment and genuine relationships. We specialise in fresh thinking and determined effort.

We're entirely volunteer-run, and we work mainly on donations from our generous supporters across the county. We provide clothes, nappies and toiletries, Moses baskets, bedding, and toy and book bundles. We also offer maternity clothes, and toiletries for mums and mums-to-be. Perople are referred to Baby Bank Norfolk from a wide variety of professionals, including GPs, midwives, social workers, housing associations, children's centres and many others. There are also a huge number of reasons for referrals - sometimes people are struggling with poverty, or are going through relationship breakdowns and are without things they need, or are fleeing domestic violence situations, or are refugees. We have low overheads, but we need to pay for rent and insurance; we also buy items new where they're needed, such as mattresses and bottle teats. We're extremely grateful for all the donations and financial support we receive, which goes straight to where it is needed.

The Arkwright Scholarships Trust is a charity that identifies, inspires and nurtures future leaders in engineering and related areas of design. We award Engineering Scholarships through rigorous selection to high-calibre school students in year 11 (England and Wales), S4 (Scotland) and year 12 (Northern Ireland) to support them through their 'A' levels or Scottish Highers. Arkwright Scholars are encouraged to go on to study engineering or a related area of design at university, or to take up a high-quality higher apprenticeship; and to pursue a technical career. Arkwright Scholarships consist of an annual financial award to each Scholar and to his/her school, and a range of activities that increase a Scholar's understanding of engineering and the world of work. We are also able to offers a small number of undergraduate engineering Scholarships to our existing Sixth Form Scholars as they move on to university. Arkwright was founded in 1991 and since then we have awarded over 2900 Scholarships. In 2013 we aim to award 350 Scholarships to dynamic, talented young people. We have no capital endowment to draw upon and we rely on the support of people and organisations with an interest in the future of engineering. For more details of our work, please visit:
