Get Involved

We value and rely on your help to make our service possbile. Without our team of 40+ volunteers - we would be lost! Their time spent in helping us both opreate and administer Poppy is invalueable. To discuss volunteer roles available further, contact a member of the team. Every little bit of help, makes a huge difference.

We warmly welcome members of the public to support the Norfolk Charitable Trust by organising their own fundraising events, challenges, or activities. Whether it’s a sponsored walk, a community gathering, or a personal challenge, your efforts can make a real difference. Every pound raised helps us continue providing life-changing experiences aboard Poppy.

We were incredibly proud to be chosen as the 2025–2026 Chairman’s Charity of the Year by North Norfolk District Council. The support and fundraising we received were truly outstanding, helping us continue delivering life-changing experiences aboard Poppy.

Do you know an organisation, business, or group that could support us as their Charity of the Year? We would love to hear from you. Your introduction or recommendation could make a real difference to the people and families we support.

Partnering with the Norfolk Charitable Trust (NCT) as a corporate sponsor offers a meaningful opportunity to make a real difference in your community while aligning your organisation with a trusted, inclusive local charity. Through a corporate partnership, your business can support the ongoing operation of Poppy — helping provide free, accessible boat trips for disabled people and their families.

In return, we offer positive brand association, community engagement opportunities, staff volunteering experiences, and recognition across our channels and events. Whether through sponsorship, fundraising, or long-term collaboration, your support will directly contribute to improving wellbeing, strengthening communities, and ensuring that no one is excluded from experiencing the natural beauty of North Norfolk.

Come along, get involved, and make a difference! Our fundraising events are a great way to support the Norfolk Charitable Trust while enjoying time with your community. From social gatherings to special events, there’s something for everyone.

Engaging with a local charity like us can be deeply rewarding and impactful. You can contribute in several ways:

• Volunteering your time and skills to support day-to-day operations or special events.

• Fundraising through sponsored activities, community events, or online campaigns.

• Donating money, goods, or services to help sustain the charity’s work.

• Advocating by raising awareness of the charity’s mission within your community.

By connecting with a local charity, you not only help meet immediate community needs but also build stronger, more resilient local networks. Partnering with trusts and foundations can amplify these efforts by providing the resources needed to grow and sustain meaningful change.
