With celebrations taking place across the UK this year to commemorate 200 years of the RNLI, Sheringham Lifeboat station held a number of events last week with lots more planned. 4th March saw the official 200th birthday of the RNLI and Sheringham hosted a number of events including a street collection, a special celebration at St Peter's church, a gala dinner and a unique video produced by The Sheringham Shantymen. On Saturday a street collection was held in Sheringham town centre with over £1,700 generously donated by the public to the RNLI, a particularly impressive figure considering it was a cold winter Saturday and relatively quiet compared to the busy summer months.

Bereaved children in Norfolk have more support this year thanks to the efforts of a group of businesses in the county. To mark its 25th birthday, Nelson’s Journey sought firms to back its “NJ25” campaign with the aim of collectively raising £25,000 to provide the funds for a full-time Child Bereavement Support Worker in the county. The campaign was so successful that the final amount raised was more than £33,000, nearly a third more than the target. In taking on the challenge the firms involved really went the extra mile, with some creative fundraising taking place such as Wensum Print’s football tournament, the Nelson Cup, Rosedale Funeral Home’s “Come Dine With Me” experience and Jaya Dance’s Bollywood workshops, among many more.

Volunteers have the chance to make an “invaluable, life-changing” contribution by helping families receiving support from a leading children’s hospice. East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) is keen to hear from anyone willing to spare some time and join its Help at Home team. Volunteers are matched with the family of a child receiving care at one of its three hospices, in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. They then have an opportunity to provide vital practical support with things like gardening, shopping, cooking, vacuuming, dusting, washing, ironing and dog-walking. Other roles include looking after pets and sibling support, including helping children and young people with their homework.

Site workers at David Wilson Homes’ Kingfisher Meadow development in Horsford have banded together to grow out their hair in November while raising money for a cause close to their hearts. Coinciding with Movember, moustaches have been grown in aid of Amber's Army, a Horsford-based family charity, which was established in 2023 by Jon and Amanda Sheehy in loving memory of their daughter, Amber. Amber bravely battled a brain tumour but unfortunately lost her fight in January 2023 at the age of eight. The Sheehy family, with the support of friends who played a significant role during Amber's cancer journey, formed the board of trustees for this meaningful organisation.
