IMPACT REPORT

The NEST 2022

Coastal Walk Challenge Emotions run high at the finish line of our Coastal Walk Challenge fundraising event.

Chairman’s welCome

Norwich City Community Sports Foundation continues to be a force for good in Norfolk, supporting local people across our four key impact areas: driving inclusion for people with disabilities, boosting mental health and wellbeing, raising aspirations for disadvantaged people, and engaging with the community

In 2022, we saw 39,908 unique participants engaging with us for 618,561 hours. While our reach is significant, and growing, the impact we have on people is what really drives us forward.

of participants on our programmes for disabled people believe their lives have been positively impacted.

95% of disability participants believe that we provide services not elsewhere accessible in Norfolk.

91% of teachers reported a tangible difference in pupils’ attitudes towards PE after our work in schools.

88% of participants on our wellbeing programmes recorded overall improvements in physical fitness.

75% Our hub, The Nest, is already having an impact on the community since fully opening in 2021. It has allowed us to extend the reach of our own programmes while opening the doors to other groups, clubs and activities, which helps to ensure the sustainability of the charity and the facility itself.

The Nest has been utilised by CCOs, businesses, sports teams, school groups, private functions, children’s birthday parties and much more, while also becoming the home of Norwich City Women.

Welcoming over 15,000 unique participants and visitors last year with a total throughput of over 100,000, it is clear The Nest was a much-needed facility.

Significantly for the charity, our flagship fundraising event Run Norwich returned for the first time since 2019, as over 6,200 people ran the 10K route through our beautiful city centre in the rain. It was crucial that we staged Run Norwich, following postponements and cancellations for the pandemic and an amber weather warning.

Without our incredible people, and those who support the work of the Foundation through fundraising and volunteering, our impact would be far less than the figures I’ve shared with you.

Our team has grown to nearly 90 full-time staff members between the Foundation and The Nest. Our people make us who we are; they drive, they innovate, and they care.

I would like to thank all of them for their contributions as we reflect on another successful year of improving lives in Norfolk.

We are the official charity of Norwich City Football Club. Our mission is to support and inspire our community.

Driving inClusion for people with Disabilities

20% of people in Norfolk have a disability, which is higher than the national average. The Foundation works to provide inclusive environments that meet the needs of those taking part, so that they may enjoy the benefits of sport.

boosting

mental health anD wellbeing

An estimated 38,000 people in Norfolk experience loneliness. We use the physical and social benefits of sport to improve people’s mental health and physical wellbeing. Our work helps to combat loneliness, anxiety, and inactivity for people in Norfolk.

Community engagement

The Foundation also operates a range of affordable services that provide widespread community engagement and positive impact, such as our schools programme and kids’ courses. Any surplus created is reinvested to support our charitable objectives.

inspiring DisaDvantageD people

Norfolk has the third highest school exclusion rate among rural counties. Sport and Norwich City Football Club are powerful tools for engaging with harder to reach groups and inspiring them to raise their aspirations and reach their potential.

timeline

The dreaded L-word (lockdown) looked firmly in the rear-view mirror, which meant that in-person interactive events such as ‘FC Live’ were back! We kicked off the year with a session delivered by Ryan Jarvis, and though FC Live was delivered digitally during lockdown, we all know there’s nothing like the real thing!

january

March saw pupils enjoy dishes inspired by Norwich City players as part of Active Canaries Health Month. Over 40 schools took part in a PL Primary Stars tournament, and Foundation sides enjoyed a friendly fixture at The Nest (we’re sure you’ve seen the TikTok).

february

In February it was time to shine the spotlight on Realising Potential, as a group of young participants celebrated being the first to complete the programme. The Lionesses were in town, so the Foundation celebrated with a free, girls’ football session at The Nest.

PL Inspires students were paid a visit by a group of academy players and Adam Drury took the reins for our second FC Live of the year. Young Canaries Megan and Amber were called up to England an U16 camp whilst The Nest hosted a Football Festival for close to 100 girls. Finally, Foundation apprentice Chloe Dobson was chosen as Norwich City FC’s ‘PL Kicks Local Legend’!

marCh

april

In April, Active Canaries starred for a second time, with Josh Sargent and Dimitris Giannoulis surprising school pupils in the auditorium to share some of their favourite foods.

The Canaryball Rally saw teams tackle an 1,800-mile round trip from the start to the finish line, including the North Coast 500 of Scotland, raising £60,000 for the Foundation. This wasn’t the only fundraiser of the month, as the first of the Coastal Challenge series also took place.

7

May kicked off with a Mental Health Awareness Morning for our Run for Me group at The Nest. Students from three local schools were given the opportunity to tour Carrow Road thanks to our PL Inspires programme, and fundraising fans graced the Carrow Road turf to raise £5,000 for the Foundation.

Ian Thornton, our Chief Executive Officer, was awarded OBE honours in June as a commendation for his services to East Anglia. Fundraising cyclists tackled the 422-mile trip from Koblenz to Carrow Road, whilst tears were shed as walkers completed a non-stop 47-mile Coastal Walk Challenge.

In July, fundraising walkers conquered the Three Peaks Challenge in testing conditions, starting off in the north with Ben Nevis, before heading down to Scafell Pike and concluding with Snowdon.

We said farewell to Foundation legend, Christoph Zimmermann as he decided his future lay away from Carrow Road and said congratulations to primary school student Riley who claimed the PL Primary Stars Superstar award for his outstanding work.

We also hosted a Wish Day, which was a dream come true for a number of incredible, young people as we treated them to a day out at the Lotus Training Centre to watch a session and meet their Norwich City idols.

In August we welcomed Ukrainian refugees and their host families for a fun day at The Nest. Representatives from our Walking Football Team brought the IWFF Championship home to England, while the Foundation enjoyed a takeover day at Carrow Road during the Canaries’ cup clash against Birmingham City, raising £24,000 in the process.

Fundraising walkers tackled Yorkshire’s Three Peaks in scorching hot conditions, Disability and Development teams competed for the Canary Cup, and Jackie Thornton was made a Premier League Community Captain for her outstanding contributions towards building The Nest and bringing the local community together.

may june july august 8

September saw celebration of long service as Gavin Coe and Stevie Bramble hit the 20-year milestone! We took a day to thank all of our partners and fundraisers for their outstanding support throughout the year, and fans were in safe hands as goalkeeping coach, Ed Wootten hosted an evening FC Live under the lights at The Nest.

Finally, Norwich legends Dean Ashton and Bryan Gunn battled it out for bragging rights at Royal Norwich at our fundraising Golf Day.

september oCtober

In October the Foundation launched two brand-new programmes focusing on mental health – Team Talk and Ahead of the Game. Sponsors Orange Fox Electrical unveiled a defibrillator that they kindly installed at The Nest free of charge, and Soccer Schools participants in Wymondham were surprised by Todd Cantwell and Liam Gibbs!

We also launched Duncan’s Club, our new support programme for people with dementia, which is the only weekly session of its kind in Norfolk.

A little event called Run Norwich finally happened as a record 6,217 people ran in torrential rain.

November marked the second international call-up of the year for young goalkeeper Amber and a first for Bea as she joined the Portugal U16s. On the Buzzer, City! returned with host Rob Butler. The Foundation supported Stonewall’s annual rainbow laces campaign and Norfolk Business Leaders enjoyed a fundraising dinner at Carrow Road.

Finally, the debut season of Planet League reached its conclusion with Norwich City placing ninth out of 67 competing sides.

DeCember

The year concluded with a series of Utilita EFL Kids Cup tournaments to determine which schools could progress and represent Norwich on the road to Wembley, and PL Kicks enjoyed a world football celebration day at The Nest.

“ He loves attending the programme. It’s the first thing that’s stuck and we have tried a lot of different things.

The activities were pitched right so that all students could be successful and enjoy a sense of achievement, which has changed some students’ perception of exercise.

The Foundation has provided so many valuable opportunities outside of his school setting that are not available anywhere else. These opportunities have increased his confidence and opened up his world to new experiences and friendship.

CHARLIE’S STORY

Seventeen-year-old Charlie has William’s syndrome, a developmental disorder that affects his motor skills and physical development. Charlie sometimes has troubles with his balance and is sensitive to noise.

Taking part in our Realising Potential programme has been hugely beneficial for him, as his parents Mark and Cheryl explain:

“He’s understood here; it gives him the chance to socialise with kids his age and to learn new skills, whilst also giving him the opportunity to be active and not behind a screen.”

After initially being shy to join in, the encouragement of coaches and other participants have helped him to enjoy a huge array of sports.

Cheryl added:

“I have also noticed, in terms of Charlie’s personal development, that he’s more willing to give everything a go, and is more confident when talking and playing with others.” READ CHARLIE’S

michael’s story

Michael, aged 86, was diagnosed with dementia back in 2019.

He had always been a quiet man but after his diagnosis, he became mute for two years, responding using his head or body language.

At Michael’s first Duncan’s Club visit, the group played a song from 1959 which seem to spark something in him and he began to sing along, leaving his wife Mary in joyous floods of tears.

Since that moment, his progress has been both visible and audible, with Mary describing the breakthrough as a “very special moment”. READ MICHAEL’S

riley’s story

A literacy initiative focused around football and Norwich City Football Club, has helped young Riley to overcome his reading demons.

Nine-year-old Riley has dyslexia and has always found reading challenging. He would refuse to read or participate in reading lessons in any capacity, choosing instead to wander around the classroom.

Deputy Headteacher Chloe Demeuzois chose Riley for the Reading Starsprogramme, a 10-week Premier League funded educational intervention programme delivered in-school by the Community Sports Foundation.

Chloe said: “We could instantly see that Riley was engaged in learning. He has been alert and attentive in lessons and keen to join in and share his ideas. It has been great to see his personality shine through. He has been happy in the sessions, often smiling and laughing.”

wish day

Dreams Come true at the lotus training Centre

In September we invited a group of extraordinary young people and their families to visit the Lotus Training Centre for a VIP experience wish day.

Our visiting families watched the first team train from the stand, before the players greeted them pitch-side after their session.

Players signed autograph books, took pictures, gave hugs, and even hosted a penalty shootout starring Todd Cantwell and Tim Krul, who were left in awe by some super spot-kicks.

The day ended with a final surprise for each of the youngsters in attendance, as players presented them each with a signed shirt, plush toy and signed football to take home and commemorate the day.

The youngsters were then invited by the Foundation to the ‘Foundation Takeover’ fixture against Birmingham City, where one member of the group, Sofia Honey Adcock, brought out the match ball as the Foster’s Solicitors Community Hero.

long service GAVIN COE

20 YEARS

in 2022

Gavin started working at the Foundation on the 3rd of September 2002 as a Youth Training Scheme Apprentice after seeing an advert in local newspaper.

Since then, Gav has been an Assistant Football Community Officer, Football Community Officer, Kicks Development Officer, Partnership Development Manager, Operations Manager, and for the past 11 years, has held the position of Head of Operations and Business Development.

When asked what he’s proudest of during his time with the Foundation, Gav said:

“Seeing the journey of where I started 20 years ago, when there were eleven full-time staff, compared to the size of the operation we have now and how much impact we have across the county.

“That’s probably the most rewarding thing, seeing all that growth over those number of years and knowing that I played a part in it.”

42

STEVIE BRAMBLE 20 YEARS

Stevie joined the Foundation on the same day as Gavin, starting off as a Youth Training Scheme Coach, supported by the Football League. Like a lot of the students he helps today, Stevie was unsure what to do upon finishing his A-Level exams, but saw the role advertised in a match day programme.

“Following the Apprenticeship, I was lucky enough to be converted into a full-time coach, delivering free sessions in schools and after school clubs”, said Stevie.

“I was also able to pursue my passion at the time, goalkeeping, and I’ve been fortunate enough to see some of the players I worked with progress further, such as Angus Gunn and Remi Matthews.”

When asked what he’s been most proud of during his time at the Foundation, Stevie said:

“From a professional point of view, it’s when we launched our Football and Education programme, and completely out of the blue, introduced Adam Drury to them as their lead coach. To keep that quiet and then pull it out the bag was a pretty special moment seeing the shock on people’s faces.”

TOBY NICKERSON 15 YEARS

Toby has been with the foundation for a self-proclaimed “15 + 2 years”, working for a couple of years part-time before taking a permanent role.

Toby eventually started full time as a coach, working in schools and learning from his peers.

Like Stevie and Gav, 15 years of service is an incredible tenure in one place of work - Toby summarised what has kept him here for so long.

“I think the fun that I have and the people I’ve met along the way are some of my best friends, away from work as well which adds so much to why we’re here.

“I also think what we have to realise – we’re in a fantastic, privileged position which we can easily forget. Ultimately, the giving back outweighs most of what we do – that’s what we’re in it for.”

Huge congratulations to Georgia Skipper and Shaun Howes who reached 5 years with the Foundation.

OUR FOCUS IN 2023

We will continue to be driven by our strategic objectives:

Create finanCial growth

To sustain and grow our reach and impact as a charity, we need to achieve a diverse mix of income from funding, fundraising and donations, partnerships, and revenue from our facilities and affordable engagement activities. We also make sure that our expenditure is reasonable and necessary to further our charitable objectives.

improvement anD infrastruCture

We are always striving to improve, from our team delivering programmes in the community, to our operational support teams, to our facilities and equipment. The better we can be in every area, the greater the impact we can have on those who need us.

44

support anD inspire our Community

We use the power of Norwich City Football Club to achieve our charitable objectives. Using our programmes, platforms, and engagement with players and staff at Norwich City Football Club, we support and inspire our community to help people lead a better life every day.

promote positive Culture

We have a team of inspirational people, who make a difference every day. We strive for excellent recruitment of people who match our values, and we aim to create a culture that makes them feel proud and appreciated.

45

what is next for the nest?

In 2022 we invested £256k of our reserve funds into The Nest to unlock a further £1m to build a second full size 3G pitch.

As part of phase four we are working to secure £8m of funding for further developments at The Nest including a youth hub building that will include a sports hall, climbing wall, and multi-use indoor spaces.

The addition of the youth hub would increase our reach in the community by an estimated 4,000 per year, while further improving the sustainability of the charity. The charity will be required to invest further reserves into phase four to unlock the funds to achieve this new addition at The Nest.

46

In 2022, our group turnover was

£5,743,833

We aim to have a diverse range of income to safeguard the charity’s sustainability and achieve its vision. Any surplus made through project delivery is invested back into the four charitable objectives and the future development of the Nest:
