Prince’s Trust

EACH

The Nook Appeal will transform children’s palliative care across Norfolk including a new purpose-built hospice. Jarrold have joined the ‘nook business network' and have pledged to raise 10k towards the new children’s hospice.

The Big C story:

In 1980, two young men from Norfolk found themselves with cancer and having to travel to London or Cambridge for treatment, often finding this journey harder than the treatment itself. They vowed the people of Norfolk & Waveney would have access to the best treatment and support in their local areas.

Thirty-seven years on and this is being realised more than ever; with nearly £30million being raised since "The Big C Appeal" began in 1980. Surgical and diagnostic equipment at Norfolk's hospitals means increasing numbers of people can be treated locally with faster or less invasive treatments for a range of cancers.

 

We create opportunities for vulnerable young people to thrive and support them to build their skills and confidence.

We enable them to take responsibility for their lives and work towards a future they can be proud of. To do this, we support 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed and those struggling at school or being excluded. Many of the young people helped by The Trust are in or leaving care, facing issues such as homelessness or mental health problems, or they have been in trouble with the law.

Our programmes give vulnerable young people the practical and financial support needed to stabilise their lives, helping develop self-esteem and skills for work.

Three in four of the young people we support move into work, education or training. Founded by HRH The Prince of Wales over 40 years ago, the charity has helped more than 870,000 young people since 1976 and supports 100 more each day.

The Prince’s Trust is a community. We champion young people, no matter what their background. Despite lives stifled by unemployment, homelessness, being in care or being in trouble with the law, young people can succeed with your help.

Thank you for being a part of giving vulnerable young people the chance to build a life for themselves. Help to train, mentor and support them to build their skills and confidence.

Help them to take responsibility for their lives and move into work, education, training or volunteering.

Together we can change lives.

One of Norwich’s best-loved department stores has become the latest company to sign up to the nook business network.

Jarrold is the 39th member of an ever-growing corporate group that exists to support East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH), specifically the charity’s nook appeal.

The twice-UK Independent Department Store of the Year has pledged to raise £10,000 for the appeal, that was launched in November 2014 to raise £10 million for a new, purpose-built children’s hospice in Framingham Earl.

Jarrold has chosen the good cause as one of three to give its backing until 2020, with the other lucky beneficiaries being Big C and the Prince’s Trust.

The store plans to award money from its carrier bag sales and host a fashion show among its fundraising activities.

Carole Slaughter, Jarrold Charity Co-ordinator, said: “Jarrold have been a supporter of EACH for many years and are delighted to now become a member of the Nook business network with a pledge to raise £10,000 towards the new purpose built children’s hospice in Norfolk.

The monies will be raised by Jarrold staff and customers through a variety of activities over the coming months as part of the Jarrold 250 Fundraising Initiative.”

 Sophie Mayes, EACH Norfolk Corporate Fundraiser, said: “We’re really excited to be working with such a popular store as Jarrold and can’t wait to see what staff get up to in order to fulfil their pledge."
