CSF
Celebrating Community Week at the game today Aviva volunteers will be supporting CSF at disability sessions during the week
Will, who has cerebral palsy, is an enthusiastic and regular participant in CSF’s disability sport programmes. The programmes that he enjoys are made possible through funding from CSF’s Sporting Light Appeal, which proceeds from today’s ground collection today will go to. Today marks World Down’s Syndrome Day, and also at the game today are participants from the Norwich City Down’s Syndrome team. They will be introduced to the crowd at half-time, along with counterparts from Lincoln City football club.
Today’s game sees the climax of Community Week – a weeklong celebration of Norwich City’s work in the community through the Community Sports Foundation (CSF).
Both teams have enjoyed a special tournament prior to the game and will round off a memorable day with a pitch procession.
City players will warm-up for today’s game in CSF branded training tops as well as donating their match-shirts to CSF for auction following the match.
Their day has been made possible thanks to the generous support of PUPS, a fan group from the popular Pink ‘Un message boards, who have chosen to support CSF as their charity of the year.
Community Week is a chance to recognise the various programmes, people and participants that engage with the club’s Foundation on a weekly basis and to thank the funders and fundraisers who make it possible, including main club sponsor Aviva.
Be sure to keep an eye out for our groundcollectors today, including volunteers from Aviva, who will be raising money for the Foundation. Been inspired by Community Week? Visit communitysportsfoundation.org.uk to find out how you can help.
One young person who benefits from such work is today’s young Community Hero, Will Clarke.
