Families were dazzled by an array of supercars during a special visit to East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH).
Forty-six family members attended the event, which saw members of Porsche Drivers Norfolk dress up as superheroes and bring their gleaming vehicles to The Nook.
The drivers and owners greeted families before inviting children and young people to sit inside the cars, explore the interiors and pose for photographs.
The popular event gave families the chance to get up close to an impressive collection of high-performance cars in a relaxed and supportive environment.
“We’re incredibly grateful to everyone from Porsche Drivers Norfolk for giving our families such a memorable experience,” said Cassie Hollis, EACH’s Community Fundraiser at The Nook.
“The cars created a real buzz and there was genuine excitement as children and young people had the chance to sit inside, explore the vehicles and enjoy the superhero theme.
“What made the visit especially meaningful was the enthusiasm, generosity and kindness of the Porsche enthusiasts, who went out of their way to engage with families and make everyone feel welcome.
“It was a joy to see so many smiles, and we’d like to thank them for helping create such special memories. We’re also incredibly grateful for their fundraising efforts, which have generated an amazing £8,000 for EACH through the event so far, with more still to come.”
Families also enjoyed a range of seasonal activities, including games, pumpkin carving, craft sessions and refreshments.
“There was plenty for families to enjoy away from the cars, too,” said Clare Oakley, EACH’s Groups and Events Co-ordinator at The Nook.
“The games, crafts and activities were a great way for children and young people to have fun together, get creative and make happy memories.
“It was lovely to see everyone joining in and enjoying the opportunity to relax and spend time with one another.”
Children also had the opportunity to make decorations for a Christmas tree that will be displayed at Chantry Place in Norwich. The EACH tree will form part of the Chantry Place Community Christmas Tree Trail and can be seen in the St John’s area on Level One, near the glass lifts and escalators, from 16th November until Christmas Eve.
