The Trust’s primary focus has always been to purchase shares to ensure that fans owned some of Norwich City Football Club. Until recently, all our fundraising was set up to support the acquisition of shares, however, we have expanded our focus to include a lot more work on issues of high importance to us, and all Norwich City fans.

Mental Health Awareness
Mental health awareness week this year carries extra weight for me. It coincides with the 30th anniversary of my Mum's sudden death — she was 57, I was in my early twenties at university, and I felt invincible. There was no known cause of death, which made navigating grief harder in some ways. When there's no reason why, the mind searches endlessly for answers that don't exist. Getting through that time, whilst supporting my Dad and wider family, was the most challenging of m

In this piece, Laurie Egan, the Trust's Treasurer, talks about how we are all stronger together: When published in October there was widespread vehement opposition to the Stadium Development proposals.

Fundraising for good causes
Following the boardroom changes at Norwich City FC, the Canaries Trust decided to change direction and cease purchasing shares in the club. Instead, we chose to focus all our fundraising efforts on local charities and good causes. When the club announced the Healthy Fans initiative this seemed an obvious choice. The Trust has been raising money through various competitions and events over the years, so it was a natural progression to extend this. First, there are eBay s

Stadium Development Proposals
Stadium Development Proposals - what did we learn at the Club’s AGM? The club’s recent AGM was held against a backdrop of a recent change in club ownership, poor performance on the pitch and a bungled attempt at moving fans around the ground.
