THE NORFOLK CHARITABLE TRUST
We provide a specially adapted boat and respite Lodge for disabled people visiting Blakeney, North Norfolk. This allows them, their families, friends and carers to access our heritage coast and two National Nature Reserves in Blakeney Harbour and provides a base for wider engagement with nature in Norfolk. These activities successfully support our beneficiaries physical and mental wellbeing.
