We typically invest in local charities that work with, or benefit young people or children. There is no charge to the charity to take part, but there is a robust selection process. Interested charities should contact judith@nelsonspirit.co.uk. Charities helped so far are:

Nelson's Journey

"I really enjoyed nelsonspirit and found it to be very positive, supportive and inspirational.  By bringing together business people with numerous and wide ranging skills and contacts, nelsonspirit is a blessing to a small organisation like Nelson's Journey, particularly as at the meetings it was so clear how committed and enthusiastic participants were in making a difference. I am very pleased that Nelson's Journey has joined the crew!".

Norwich Door to Door

"Thank you for all that I have received from the nelsonspirit team, it has been of great value. I have felt privileged and enjoyed the goodwill and feel those friendships I have made will endure. I truly believe if more of the busy entrepreneurs in our community were able to appreciate how, with just a little help the hardships suffered by their less fortunate neighbours might be eased, we should have a stronger more vibrant and healthier society and we should all benefit".
Jill Gaul, CEO, Norwich Door to Door. (Crew 2)
