Funders
At Inside Out Community we are truly grateful for the ongoing support of our funders, enabling us to deliver our wide-ranging programme of creative workshops.
Without them this just wouldn’t be possible. Working together we are making a real difference to the lives of so many people and the communities in which they live.
NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust
NHS Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Foundations Trust believe in ‘working together for better mental health’. They work closely with health and care partners and voluntary sector organisations to transform mental health care. The Foundation part funds our Core workshop programme.
The Suffolk Community Fund works closely with key stakeholders to increase understanding of need and raise essential funds to support local charities and community groups. The organisation part funds our Creative Lives programme as well as providing general funding.
The Baring Foundation works to promote human rights and inclusion. As part of this aim, the organisation encourages the role of creativity in the lives of people with mental health problems and provides funding for our Moving Minds programme.
The Pargiter Trust focuses on supporting disadvantaged older people to be independent, healthy and socially included. It works closely with Community Foundations and other charities, supporting grassroots projects such as our Creative Lives programme.
Past Funders

The National Lottery Community Fund
The National Lottery Community Fund awards money raised by National Lottery players across the UK, recognising that people understand what’s needed in their communities better than anyone. Lottery funding is used across our programme of workshops.
CAF – Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) | We Make Giving Count
The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) exists to make giving go further, in turn transforming more lives and communities around the world. CAF provided part-funding for our Write Minds and Moving Minds projects until March 2021. Although the funding has now ended, the investment continues to make an impact across the community.

Comic Relief makes a difference to the lives of millions of people across the UK and around the world. It partners with projects and organisations that are working to improve mental health and provide a safe place for everyone while creating a world that is free from fear, violence and discrimination where children survive and thrive. We are grateful to Comic Relief for providing funding for our Making Your Mark programme.
