Notts County Foundation announce first ‘Community Day’ in three years

Notts County Foundation is proud to announce the return of its ‘Community Day’ for tor the first time in three years.

Taking place between 10:30am and 1:30pm, prior to Notts County Football Club’s home league match against Yeovil Town, match goers and members of the local community alike are invited to come together in celebration of the charity’s first Community Day since 2019. The event will also mark the first time that plans for the proposed refurbishment of the Portland Centre’s training room into a mental wellbeing space will be able to be viewed by members of the public.

“We are delighted to see the return of our annual Community Day, following two years of COVID-related cancellations. The day allows us to bring into focus our extensive range of community-focussed projects and programmes, and raise awareness of our work across the city and county.” […] “The charity is in a really positive position at the moment, and we are very much looking forward to welcome everyone to the Portland Centre for what is shaping up to be a really exciting pre-match event. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has continued to support us throughout the pandemic, your generosity has helped us to transform the lives of local people during what has been a challenging few years.”

Sam Crawford, Head of Business Development at Notts County Foundation

Several local businesses and organisations, including, 200 Degrees, Boxed Drinks, Working Man’s Kitchen, Guru Nanak’s Mission, Canal & River Trust, and Streetwise Opera will be supporting the event, with Trent Bridge Community Trust delivering their All Stars & Dynamos cricket session in the Portland Centre in a fun-filled morning of activities!

“Everyone at the club is looking forward to celebrating the tremendous work Notts County Foundation do in the community at their dedicated fixture. […] “I would encourage everyone to engage with the fantastic activities and opportunities on offer throughout the day and to support the Foundation in any way they can throughout the year.”
