£3000 Raised for Macmillan Nurses!

Macmillan Cancer Support in Norfolk has received a welcome boost thanks to the effort of over 100 golfers who took part in a special event in September last year.

Just over £3,000 was raised at our Annual Charity Golf Day held at Bawburgh as part of Macmillan’s ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ event. We have supported the Macmillan Coffee Morning for the last 11 years and have raised a substantial sum during this time thanks to the continued support of our clients and contacts for which we are very grateful.

"Rogers & Norton have once again surpassed themselves by organising their golf day to support us,” said Helen Chapman, Macmillan’s Fund Raising Manager. “Raising over £3,000 is fantastic, especially in the current economic climate. It is enough to fund our Mobile Information Centre to visit Norfolk for a day, bringing cancer information to the community or to fund a Macmillan nurse for just under a month. I would like to thank Rogers & Norton for holding the golf day and everyone who took part.”

Macmillan does such a superb job across Norfolk which is why we support their Coffee Morning every year. I am sure that is why people responded most generously on the day as they knew the money was going to such a worthy cause.

R&N go to the Panto

We are delighted to let you know that our outing to the theatre on 14th January was a great success and we were able to take 25 children to see the Pantomime at Norwich Theatre Royal. The seats were offered to children through Nelson's Journey, a local Charity dedicated to supporting children in Norfolk who have experienced the death of a close family member or friend.

With the brilliant help of the Theatre Royal staff we were able to make it a really special event as the children were treated to a back stage tour and had their own tea party before enthusiastically enjoying the Panto!

The whole event was a great exercise in how a little effort and some well directed funds can bring so much enjoyment to children in real need of a lift at a very vulnerable time in their lives. We will certainly consider repeating the event next year as a result of this experience. More information about Nelson's Journey can be obtained from http://www.nelsonsjourney.org.uk.
