The Kearns Foundation supports local communities through a small grants programme and by providing support for community organisations via a range of training and advisory services (subject to application). We also manage a Log Cabin and Campsite in North Norfolk available for hire by youth and community groups.

Funded mainly through private donations, grants from other charities, and fundraising events, we aim to make a little money make a big difference.

We typically award small grants between £50 and £250 to individual young people aged between 11 and 21 years as well as adults in membership of a community organisation who take part in activities that help them to develop personally for a wider community benefit.

For community organisations we also offer support through a range of training workshops and advice sessions on a wide variety of relevant issues. We also offer a bursary fund to smaller community organisations so volunteers can access some of these programmes for free.
