“I saw Kenny's Birthday fundraiser. His story is a shining example of what has been done for local kids by ERT. I came to the Ravens through Keith and Kathy Lindsey back in the early 1970s, some ten years or so after Roger Bradshaw started it all, for a while living in the clubhouse on Norton Road and can remember playing football with Kenny and the lads in the converted toilet block which the Trust acquired, next to the Club Fiesta. As the years have passed, the work has changed but it remains so important. Please support Kenny's fundraiser.”

“Whenever I visit Norton I always pop into this charity shop. I think it is very important to support the elderly in this country. I have had some fantastic buys from this shop; some great books for my children; a couple of CDs for my husband, and loads of clothes for me and the kids. They have a very large collection of ladies' clothing, ranging from a size 6 up to about a 26; however, as with all charity shops, this is basically other people's cast-offs, and some of the clothes are frumpy to say the least! This may suit some customers but I am only 28! However, like I say, this is a charity shop so it's always going to be a bit hit-and-miss. The staff are very friendly and helpful; some of the people who work there have special educational needs and it's great to see them working hard. The only issue I have found with this is that the last time i visited the shop a couple of weeks back I was practically leapt upon by one of the male members of staff who must have thought he knew me or something. I did find this a little intimidating although I understood that this wasn't his fault.”

“This is a lovely, clean and bright shop. Very friendly and helpful staff. We visit the shop looking for baby/toddler toys for our grandson and always find something for him at a reasonable price. It's always a pleasure to visit and give to the charity at the same time. Keep up the good work 👍”
