BUILD Charity's Diamond Investment Fund will invite single and regular donations to sustain the charity up to, through and beyond its 60th (Diamond) Anniversary in 2027. Funds will be applied alongside contributions from people who use our services to support around 300 community based social, leisure and learning activities each year for anyone, with any disability, aged 18 or over in Norfolk.

In January 1967 the Princes Street United Reformed Church in Norwich launched a weekly social club for people with disabilities called "The Wednesday Club". Today, that Club still runs, but is just part of a community based programme of activities and opportunities organised and hosted by the Norfolk based, independent registered known as BUILD Charity. 

Completely independent of the now closed United Reformed Church, and reliant wholly on grants and donations from individuals, charitable trusts, businesses and community fundraising activities. The charity receives no public sector funds from the local authority or health and social care services.

The Charity is led by a Board of voluntary trustees and employs the equivalent of 2.01 FTE staff to manage the infrastructure but supports around 75 volunteers who provide the front line support in hosting the programmes and contribute to the back office functions of marketing and fundraising.

Donations to the BUILD Charity Diamond Investment Fund will contribute towards

• The costs of designing, developing and delivering safe and accessible community based programmes for adults with disabilities,
• Recruiting, training and retaining the volunteer workforce that makes it happen and
• Ensuring that the Charity remains sustainable up to, through and beyond its Diamond anniversary in 2027.

Here are some ways to contribute to that fund:

• A single donation - by an individual
• A regular rolling monthly donation - by an individual
• A single donation -  by a charitable trust or business
• An annual regular donation - by a charitable trust or business
• A single donation resulting from a fundraising event

Making any of these donations is simple by just clicking the DONATE button on this page and choosing to make a Regular or One off donation. Choose your own amount, or follow our guidance and see what a difference you can make with your donation. Remember that if you are an individual, who is a UK Tax Payer, you can increase the value of your donation by 25% (at no cost to you) by ticking the "Gift Aid" box enabling us to reclaim that amount from His Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

Thank You - for making a positive difference to disability in Norfolk.
