Playing The Hallowed Turf
Simon Trevillion, a volunteer in Iceni Patisserie at
Swaffham Community Centre lived the dream on
May 11th when he stepped onto the hallowed turf of
Norwich City’s Carrow Road football pitch lining up
alongside ex-professional footballers Adrian Forbes,
Adam Drury and Ryan Jarvis to take on City legend
Grant Holt and his team.
The match was part of the ‘Street Life Soccer’ initiative
organised by the Norwich City F.C. ‘Community
Sports Foundation’ which promotes weekly football
sessions and learning opportunities for homeless,
ex-offenders, vulnerable adults, vulnerably housed
and the unemployed.

to raise in excess of £500 towards the excellent work
the hospice carries out.
