Welcome to Henderson Trust
For over 20 years, Henderson Trust (first as NELM) has been dedicated to a single mission: improving the lives and opportunities of residents in the NR5 area of Norwich, including North and West Earlham, Larkman, and Marlpit.This vibrant community represents approximately 9% of the city’s population.
We serve as a catalyst for positive change in an area where residents often face significant challenges, including economic hardship, educational barriers, and reduced health outcomes.
As a community-led charity, we ensure local voices remain at our heart, with a majority of our Board of Trustees living right here in NR5. By working in close partnership with other organizations, we strive to create new opportunities and build a stronger, healthier future for our neighbourhood.
Driven by our mission to create positive change, we have launched and supported numerous projects. Our work touches on many areas of community life including health, education, the local environment and training. Just a few of our achievements include…
- Ensuring young people and families have access to enriching trips and experiences that might otherwise be out of reach.
- Tackling loneliness and isolation by bringing people together through community activities.
- Helping young people build their confidence and skills.
- Caring for and maintaining the 25-acre Henderson Park, giving residents a beautiful, bio-diverse green space to enjoy.
- Creating employment and business opportunities in the heart of the community.
