About Friends of NCF

In 2007 the founders of Friends of NCF, Steve and Liz Jennings went to Kampala. Whilst there they met some inspirational local Ugandans who had begun a small mission teaching slum children and supporting their families. They returned home determined to help the children and families living in the slum community in Namuwongo and ‘Friends’ was born.


Support started with the sponsorship of children in secondary education and then developed into fundraising for a school building. As the project continued to grow, ‘Friends’ began to finance a feeding programme to help the undernourished children receive a meal during their school day.

Friends of NCF also provide a free newsletter for moral or financial supporters, and welcome anyone wishing to do a fundraising event or challenge. To find out more please contact Matthew at: office@friendsofncf.org

The circles are casual gatherings. They will start with a bit of mingling, Ellie will then get things started, with an opportunity for everyone to get involved with the conversation around a specific theme.

You can share as much or as little as you like.

The aim is to tackle challenges and share triumphs, swap stories and have a laugh. Ellie is looking forward to it being a great source of support and insight.
