Norwich City Community Sports Foundation

Norwich City Community Sports Foundation uses the power of sport to support and inspire our community.

As a charity we aim to drive inclusion for people with disabilities, boost mental health and wellbeing, and support disadvantaged people to raise their aspirations.

Driving Inclusion for People with Disabilities

20% of people in Norfolk have a disability, which is higher than the national average

Without access to services that meet their needs, they are at risk of poor physical and mental health.

The Community Sports Foundation provides inclusive environments that meet the needs of local people with disabilities so that they may enjoy the physical, mental, and social benefits of sport.

Boosting Mental Health and Wellbeing

An estimated 38,000 people in Norfolk each year experience loneliness.

Poor mental health can affect any of us during our lifetime, while inactivity comes with an increased risk of major illness.

The Community Sports Foundation uses 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.

Supporting Disadvantaged People

Norfolk ranks as the third highest rural county for school exclusions.

Children who end up excluded from school are more likely to be vulnerable to childhood criminal exploitation.

The Community Sports Foundation uses the power of sport and Norwich City Football Club as the tools to engage with harder to reach groups and individuals and inspire them to raise their aspirations and reach their potential.

Without vital fundraising this work would stop, and many across Norfolk would be deprived of our support.
