Big man up front 1 Posted September 1, 2020 Hello all, Being born in Norwich I’ve been a Canaries fan for as long as I can remember (Sutton Utd 8-0 stands out as one of my first games) and season ticket holder since the Playoff season in Cardiff!! Anyway, I ask all yellow fans if you’d support me with my Crowdfunder and help get it to at least the £1000 mark set at the start of the campaign. It was covered in the EDP a few weeks back and is to attempt to secure a Community Centre in Zambia which the local town of Katete is dependent. Since COVID-19 all income has stopped overnight and lives are now at risk. No amount is too little!! https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/norwich-family-plea-save-community-centre-zambia-1-6800838 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted September 1, 2020 Very best of luck with it. Would probably help to link the Crowdfunder page itself, which I've done for you below: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/keep-the-heart-beating Hope you stick around and enjoy the forum... how are you feeling about the new season? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big man up front 1 Posted September 1, 2020 Cheers for adding the link, appreciated! 🙂 👍 Gonna be a strange one that’s for sure but there’s been some good signings. If they can gel with the current squad and Tettey has one more vintage season in him, you never know, could have another bus parade round the city! (hopefully not socially distanced by then!) OTBC! ps - thanks to those who have already donated- is really appreciated 😀 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted September 1, 2020 So many good causes around the world, sometimes though they really strike a chord as this one does with a community trying to do something for itself to be self-sufficient - and then coming up against the covid thing that has affected them and their development. We all need a little extra help occasionally and this seems a really worthy cause. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big man up front 1 Posted September 2, 2020 Cheers Lakey, we stumbled across the community and centre when visiting my Other half’s relatives!! It was just going to be a stop-over on the way to a safari park but having a lodge in the town of Katete you end up living the experience! Still remember it vividly after a kid asked me for some water! (and fact I was getting score updates from my mate in Norwich for the City home game v Watford!) Keeping in touch with the owner, times are tough but let’s hope things turn out better in 2020/2021 (including Norwich v Watford score!) 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its tough here atm, but you can be assured its a lot worse elsewhere. Good luck in your fundraising BMUF. Do keep the board posted with progress (which will have the advantage of bumping to the top again too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big man up front 1 Posted September 2, 2020 Thanks Greavsy!! Nearly at £900 tonight so edging closer thanks to some generous donations! I put this together with my kids animation kit few nights back for social media. Four hours of f’n and blinding later, produced this (even got mini me in my City colours)....if it gets a few more quid as a result then it’s done it’s job! enjoy!!

Big man up front 1 Posted September 27, 2020 Hello all, Just getting ifollow ready for the game today but just wanted to thank everyone here who has supported my Crowdfunder in recent weeks. It will make a massive difference and stands currently at £970. I have just over a week left to raise the last £30 and hit the magic £1k mark!! Would be special if City fans could help me do this.... https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/keep-the-heart-beating Hopefully we’ll have all three points in a few hours as well!! OTBC (was great hearing that chanted last week) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
