All proceeds going to Nelson’s Journey Where: FDC Bowthorpe When: 8th August 2023 – 10am OUR JOURNEY When Wensum Print were approached by Nelson’s Journey to become part of their NJ25 group – raising awareness and much needed funds for the charity; whilst celebrating their 25th year, we went away & had a brainstorm session. Creating a football tournament seemed the ultimate solution; with many of our staff being big football fans, playing at grassroot level, our existing partnership with The Norfolk County FA and numerous local clubs and associates and our work, which brings us together with businesses in every business sector. We are now proud to present a corporate football tournament which will be a celebration of the amazing work Nelson’s Journey produce and raise much needed funds to help them to continue doing so. We will also ensure that the event is a fun and enjoyable experience for all participants, professional with a trophy for the winning team. The event will be held at The FDC (Football Development Centre) in Norwich on Tuesday 8th August 2023. The venue offers high quality pitches and facilities, food and drink options and the event will also have fun games and competitions throughout – ideal for team building and networking. Spaces are limited, so if you would like to get involved please follow the instructions here.
