The Norfolk Hospice provides care, comfort and compassion to those in our community nearing the end of their lives and to their families and friends.
People referred to our service have a variety of life-limiting conditions, including the many forms of cancer, heart and lung conditions, and neurological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and Parkinson’s Disease.
We provide day therapy, home care including day respite, outpatient services, and support for patients, carers and the bereaved. We also collaborate with our partners in the provision of a full Hospice at Home service for patients at the end of life. We are responding to local need by growing our organisation, and in September moved into our brand new purpose built facility in Hillington.
Your support is appreciated and very much needed. The percentage of our funding that comes from the NHS, 10%, is well below the 35% national average, so our services depend on your help, from donations and legacies, and from volunteering.
From saving historic Elm Hill in the 1920s, to more recent advocacy for the best possible outcomes for Anglia Square’s development, as well as sustainable transport systems, town planning policy and the highest quality in modern architecture, the Norwich Society has been focused on preserving and improving the city’s built environment and public spaces for over 100 years.
But our work isn’t done – our committees continue to push for consideration of significant issues facing our future, and we have specific committees focusing on aspects of infrastructure, planning applications, the civic environment and protection of the character of the city’s historic environment. Working in collaboration with the City Council and other bodies, and with the support of our membership, we help to effect positive change and keep Norwich an appealing place to live and work.

We’re a small business with big ambitions — on a mission to challenge outdated perceptions of safety and compliance.
We know that small and medium-sized organisations often can’t justify a fully resourced in-house safety team. That’s where we come in. We’ve built a specialist team of passionate professionals who don’t just tick boxes — we partner with organisations to embed meaningful safety practices, shift culture, and drive lasting change.
Our approach is rooted in collaboration, innovation, and community. We’re growing a network of like-minded organisations who share knowledge, celebrate what works, and learn from what doesn’t — because it’s good to learn from your mistakes, but even better to learn from someone else’s.
We believe excellence in safety and compliance shouldn’t be reserved for big businesses. It should be accessible, practical, and transformative for all.
That’s why we do what we do — constantly innovating, creating better systems, and engaging in new ways — to make sure that ‘Make it Matter’ isn’t just our tagline, it’s the principle that guides everything we do.
