Sam Byram adds his support to The Nest campaign

In addition, The Nest will become the new home for Norwich City Women FC.

The #BuildTheNest campaign was launched in October with the aim to raise the final £1 million needed for the second phase; Norwich City Football Club have pledged to match fund up to £500,000.

Since the campaign was launched, around £200,000 has been raised and match-funded by the Club, leaving the campaign currently £600,000 short of the £1 million target.

Recently, a topping-out ceremony took place at The Nest to mark construction reaching its highest point.

Speaking at the event, Jackie Thornton of the Community Sports Foundation said: “It’s an exciting day for us in our journey to build the second phase of The Nest, but our focus is still on raising the remaining funds we need to reach completion, which is now down to around £600,000.

“Once we have achieved that, with the incredible support of Norwich City Football Club’s match-funding, we will be able to make a huge difference to many different people in our area.”

Support for the campaign is welcomed in the form of donations from individuals, businesses or organisations, or taking part in the Foundation’s designated fundraising events.

Supporters may also purchase a paving stone in the ‘Walkway at The Nest’, which is due to be installed this year.
