Support NESS - Trusts and Foundations

Partners in Delivering Impact

Without the support of Trusts, Foundations, and Grant Awarding Agencies we would be unable to deliver our vital range of Added Value Services, and we are extremely grateful for all funding received.  The award of repeated and multi-year grants is an indication of our funding partners’ satisfaction with our performance, and faith in our ability to make a positive impact on the lives of those we support.

Our Added Value Services are funded by a cocktail of charitable, trust and foundation funding, from a wide range of sources.  Every grant awarded, of whatever size, plays a vital part in ensuring our ongoing service delivery – and we would like to thank every funder for their support of NESS.
