The Norwich French Church Charity offers financial assistance to:
- Individuals and local charitable educational organisations, to help with the education and training of young people up to the age of 25. This includes apprenticeships, college or undergraduate courses where tools and equipment are needed. Tertiary education programs are considered very carefully to see whether they fit within the theme of an apprenticeship.
- Local charitable organisations who support older people over 50 in need. This is on behalf of The French Hospital, an alms house in Rochester, whom the Charity has supported since 1839.
