A special THANK YOU to Harry and James May of Maycraft Boat Services. We have just received an amazing donation of £500 from this small family business which was established in 1965. They, and their customers, have been outstanding supporters of our work to help the Broads National Park remain special. We are so very grateful. www.maycraft.co.uk

Special thanks to the fabulous Katie, her team and all customers of The Galley at Horning

We have received over £200 from donations received from their delicious afternoon teas and the sale of brown paper bags.  We are so grateful to everyone involved.    When you visit the Galley you are assured of a fabulous welcome, food and drink and lots of goodies as well as knowing that you will be helping to keep the Broads National Park special.

Love the Broads is delighted to announce that it has now raised nearly £60,000 and funded 47 amazing projects since it was launched.  View all of the projects here which have been supported by our Tourism Businesses, their fantastic customers and our Members.  Thank you all very much.

Thank you for the many fantastic donations received over the past couple of weeks from our fabulous Business Supporters and their customers, all helping to keep Broads National Park special. Cotenham Barn, Broads Gin, Wheatacre Hall Barns, Broadland Cycle Hire Ltd, Go Paddle, Limes Farm Holidays, Prima Rosa and 70 other businesses.  Without their support we would not be able to offer grants for amazing projects which will truly make a difference to the unique Broads.  We are so grateful.

We are delighted to announce that we have recently given two grants to very worthwhile projects:

To the Museum of the Broads for the purchase of automated life jackets for their tour boats and to Water, Mills and Marshes to enable the purchase of people counters to monitor visitor numbers as a result of this exciting scheme.

These grants would not have been possible without the support of our tourism businesses, their customers, our Members and many others.  We are very grateful.  Thank you.

Thank you to Go Paddle – Katie, Liz and their wonderful clients for their generous donation to help us with our work to keep the Broads National Park special.  We are so grateful.  Keep paddling!

What a fabulous new business supporter we have recruited – Cannells by the River at Reedham – deli, shop and patisserie.   Cannells is the perfect place to pop in to for delicious food and drink all sourced locally, where possible.    They also offer an excellent range of local produce to purchase – and great for gifts.

We are grateful to Chris, Emma and Elliot for their support in displaying our merchandise including the Broads by Bike books and wildlife badges.

We are delighted that Two Mills Touring Park have become our latest business supporter.  Guests will be able to purchase the popular Broads by Bike booklet here with 16 routes across the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads.  Thank you Two Mills and we hope your visitors enjoy cycling in the Broads National Park.

The iconic Wherry Maud has received £1,000 towards the purchase of a new tender with an inboard engine which was more powerful than their previous support vessel and will significantly help them to offer more sailings for visitors to enjoy.   We are pleased, once again, to have been able to support this historic and loved wherry.

How lucky are we to have the wonderful Broads Gin supporting Love the Broads?   We are very grateful to them and their fabulous customers for their generous recent donation.  Broads Gin can be found in farm shops and delis across the Broads and Norfolk.

What a perfect gift too.  Thank you to Jonny and the team who love the Broads as much as we do!

A huge thank you to the Fur & Feather and their customers for their very kind donation from the sale of hot drinks at this fantastic pub/restaurant.

We hope that the sun shines for your special family day BIG DRAY OUT on Sunday 15th August.  Have a great time.
