Passionate about sustainably bettering the lives and futures of those in need.
At The Robin Hood Foundation, we strive to bridge the gap between generosity and those in need. We create a transparent and efficient platform that connects donors with deserving causes. Through rigorous vetting, strategic partnerships, and local insights, we ensure donations reach underprivileged communities and make a meaningful impact. With a focus on accountability and compassion, we empower individuals and businesses to create transformative change. Join us in our mission to uplift communities and empower lives.
The Robin Hood Foundation started informally in May 2005 when Cindy Norcott noticed she could clothe at least 10 underprivileged babies with just her own daughters’ outgrown baby clothes.
Cindy decided to distribute bags of second-hand clothing and toiletries to needy new mums at St Mary’s Hospital. Seeing the mums crying with joy and hearing horror stories of some newborn babies leaving hospital wrapped in newspaper, motivated Cindy and her team of volunteers to intensify their efforts and the “Love the Babies” project was born.
Within a few months, Cindy heard the plight of needy Gogos who had taken on their orphaned grandchildren, the team then started making up “Gogo Bags” to assist with feeding and caring for these children. Due to the growing need from various poor communities and the willing support from donors, Cindy decided to form an NPO and in 2007, the Robin Hood Foundation was founded.
