Norwich City Community Sports Foundation is our official charity, who use the power of sport to support and inspire our community.

Their charitable objectives are:

Engaging the community

In 2025, the Foundation engaged 56,000 unique participants across their programmes, delivering over 11,400 sessions.

The Nest is the Foundation’s state-of-the-art 22-acre community hub in Horsford, Norfolk which plays host to many of its activities. In 2025 The Nest saw over 20,000 unique visitors enjoy its facilities which include: two high-quality floodlit 3G pitches, superb grass pitches, a cafe and shop, residential bunk boxes, event spaces, catering and - new for 2026 - three new Padel courts.

The facilities at The Nest also include the Challenge Woods, a fantastic outdoor wooden play space located in the far corner of the site that has also made The Nest a popular place to host day parties and other similar activities for families and children.
