Taverham Recreational Facilities Ltd alt=" Taverham Recreational Facilities Ltd - TRF Ltd., operates in the parish of Taverham to the north-west of Norwich in Norfolk. We were set up to develop and manage sports and recreation facilities in Taverham for the benefit of all residents and anyone coming to the area for sport and recreation. Broadland Hockey Club and Norwich City Hockey Club developed this idea into an exciting and inavetive partnership including Taverham High School and Taverham Parish Council. The first development was an artificial sports pitch constructed in 1995. Working with the high school the charity helped it to obtain Sports Specialist status in 2004 which helped to drive forward the construction of a £500,000 Sports Pavilion alongside the artificial pitch. The building has changing facilities, offices, meeting rooms and club room. It is used by the school for small group teaching, meetings, tutorials and for training purposes especially for the local School Sports Partnership. In evenings and weekends it is open for community use and for supporting the regular football and hockey training and games. The third phase of development on this site is the construction of a second artificial pitch to meet the increasing demand for flood lit facilities for sport. As well as a new sports pitch we are providing a BMX track for local young people to have a safe but exciting place to ride their BMX bikes. In the future there is space on this site to develop further recreational facilities for the benefit of the local community and support various initiatives being developed to involve all sections of the community.

Nelsons Journey
Nelson’s Journey is a Norfolk charity supporting children and young people under the age of 18yrs who have experienced the death of a significant person in their life. We aim to improve the mental health of bereaved children by: increasing self confidence and self belief, enabling families to talk openly about death and bereavement and helping all children to express and understand their emotions. It is currently estimated that 1 in 29 school aged children have been bereaved of a parent or sibling, in Norfolk this equates to approximately 3,825 children. This figure is significantly higher when pre-school children and 17 year olds are included. During 2009, a total of 209 children from around Norfolk received a service from us. We estimate that 280 children, living in Norfolk, experience the death of a significant person in their lives annually.
Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity
For over 30 years Sands has supported many thousands of families whose babies have died, offering emotional support, comfort and practical help. We have also worked with health professionals to revolutionise the way in which bereaved parents and their babies are cared for. In spite of medical advances, the tragic fact is that 17 babies a day in the UK are stillborn or die within the first twenty eight days of life. The equivalent of 16 fully-laden jumbo jets crashing every year, with no survivors. We have therefore launched our Why17? campaign to raise awareness of the 17 babies dying every day in the UK and to raise much needed funds towards research which could provide further information on why so many babies are dying.
