For 2026 Norfolk Ladies President, Jackie Devitt’s nominated charity is the Norfolk, Norwich and Waveney Branch of the Motor Neurone Association. It directly supports people living with motor neurone disease by helping provide practical assistance, and financial support grants that improve daily life for individuals and families across the region. The fundraising will also play an active role in raising awareness and vital funds to improve quality of life and ensure no one in our community faces MND alone.

The branch is run entirely by volunteers and aims to provide the best possible support to local people with MND, their families, and carers.

MND which can affect anybody in any walk of life. Jackie’s hope is that monies are raised to help people and their families who have to live with this devastating illness and get them the support they need.

Please help to support this cause throughout the season. We might not raise the sum of money or complete the heroics of Kevin Sinfield (google him if you don’t know what he has done to raise money for MND) but every little helps.
