On Saturday 6th February we went to the Norfolk Constabulary Head Office to say thank you to everyone at the Norfolk Constabulary for their amazing efforts in supporting Star Throwers throughout 2019. We were delighted to meet Chief Constable, Simon Bailey and receive monies totaling £3,616.29! Thank you to all the skydivers, cyclists, runners and individual donors who have supported Star Throwers through the Norfolk Constabulary in 2019.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to Sue who raised a fantastic £593.25 for Star Throwers by swimming in the River Wensum on Boxing Day and in the North sea at Gorleston on New Year's Day - in a bikini and Christmas hat! (photos shared with permission)
Sue said: "The support I've had from Star Throwers has been truly wonderful - it has eased my recovery from a second diagnosis of breast cancer and major surgery 12 months ago. I have spent many hours there, talking through difficulties, getting advice, having a relaxing massage and sometimes just sitting drinking coffee by the roaring coal fire. There is always a warm welcome. It's a very informal and homely place with friendly volunteers always on hand to make you a coffee."
