£200,000 was raised by the players, senior staff and board at the club at the start of the pandemic in an attempt to support NHS staff, care workers and some of the most vulnerable people in the local community.
A host of initiatives were carried out including:
- First-team players and staff across the club and CSF calling season ticket holders and members for a friendly chat
- 2,500 care packages delivered to local charities and organisations to distribute further if needed
- Delivery of PPE to hospitals, care homes and medical settings across the region, in conjunction with Norwich School
- Cakes baked and delivered to NHS and care workers in a display of gratitude from the club and CSF
