Welcome to Forever Notts
Welcome to Forever Notts
At Forever Notts, we’re more than just a fund — we’re a movement. A modern-day Robin Hood, dedicated to making a real, lasting difference in our communities. We partner with businesses, local authorities, trusts, families, and individuals to create funding programmes that channel resources where they’re needed most — supporting grassroots charities and community groups that change lives across Nottinghamshire.
From food banks and homeless charities to mental health initiatives, projects for the vulnerable and elderly, and support in areas facing deep inequality, our work tackles the challenges our communities face head-on. We fund projects that empower people, from gardening schemes and healthy eating projects to reducing food waste, addressing the cost of living crisis, and providing education, sports, and life-changing opportunities.

Creating Change, Together
Forever Notts isn’t just about distributing funds — we bring people together to make giving easy, effective, and meaningful. Whether through family legacy funds, corporate donations, or our unique 1% Matters initiative, we provide a powerful platform for donors who want their contributions to have a real impact. Our community-driven campaigns include the annual Basket Brigade Fund delivering festive hampers to families in need and the Bramley Fund protecting Nottinghamshire’s iconic Bramley Apple, preserving our heritage while giving back.
