Fundraising
The NNAB receives no state funding relying on legacies and donations to raise 100% of the funds needed for our vital work in Norfolk. We have a small Fundraising Team who organise flag days and events throughout the County.
Please see our What's On pages for details of flag days and events. Please contact us on 01603 629558 for details of the areas involved.

Help the NNAB and the Environment by recycling your old, used mobile handsets and Ink Cartridges!
By donating your old mobile phones and used ink cartridges you can help the NNAB and help us to improve our services to the people in Norfolk. Just drop your old mobile phone or used ink cartridge into our Charity Shop on Magdalen Street, into the NNAB on Magpie Road, Norwich or into your local NNAB Equipment & Information Centre.
The cartridges can also be sent directly to the freepost address below:
Cash For Cartridges, FREEPOST, 13 Main Street, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5AA
Please quote reference R00316 when sending the used cartridge so that the NNAB will benefit! Unfortunately toners and epsom cartridges cannot be recycled by Cash for Cartridges so please do not send these - Thank You.
And please remember..
We also recycle Foil, Stamps and Foreign Coins - Please send them in to us! They are an excellent way to raise funds for the NNAB! Our used stamps have raised £362.50 since November 2008, so collecting in recyclables really does make a difference!
