George supports EDP We Care appeal in bid to raise £1m for local volunteers.

An amateur Charity Concert was held at Salle Church on Saturday 24th October in aid of the We Care Appeal which now stands at £950,000. There is now a big push to reach the £1 million mark.

A great show was put together by The Old Wild Rovers and David Hardy who sang sea shanties and traditional and popular folk music supported by Norfolk's finest and funniest performers. Special visual effects of a golden maritime age brought the evening alive as well as a fantastic light show performance outside the church.

The aim of the EDP We Care Appeal is to raise £1 million to establish an enduring Charitable Trust, the Norfolk Millennium Trust for Carers, which gives practical and financial support to carers in Norfolk.

'For most people it is a rewarding experience and they do it because they want to. But there are times when the sense of frustration or sheer exhaustion makes their task almost too much to cope with.'Lady Mary Colman, President of the appeal.
