Pete Raven 276 Posted January 11, 2013 Yes, it''s another of those posts asking for donations to a charity.The Hamlet Centre is a local charity here in Norwich with two centres - one on Ella Road, the other at the top of Grapes Hill.They were also Norwich City''s shirt sponsor for one game - see below.If you could spare even £1 then one of our reporters is running the London Marathon for them.If you wish to donate - and much appreciated if you do - then you can here: http://tinyurl.com/vlmlucyIf it''s good enough for Grant Holt...

Gingerpele 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Hamlet centre is great, my brother (who has digeorge syndrome) goes to a youth club they run there, very good for him. They used to have another place years ago that he went to when very young, then he hadn''t been for ages until they built the new place at the top of grapes hill (I think its that one).

Pete Raven 276 Posted January 11, 2013 I imagine the place your brother went to years ago was the building on Ella Road GP. That''s now a centre for adults and the new place on Grapes Hill is for children. Having visited both sites the Ella Road facility is in urgent need of funds.

Swollen ankles 0 Posted January 11, 2013 The Ella road site would be perfect for a football day carpark as not many staff work on the weekends and is close to riverside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swollen ankles 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Charge 5 pound for parking and they would get a good amount of money to keep running Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yobocop 1,444 Posted January 11, 2013 A great idea in principle BW, but I would imagine they need 24 hr access? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swollen ankles 0 Posted January 12, 2013 there is two carparks one at the front and one at the back. Leave the front for workers of the Hamlet centre while the back on saturdays for football? Can get about 30 cars in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
