The club, along with its charity the Community Sports Foundation, reached out to the Norfolk Care Association to show its gratitude for their work.

A number of their workers were gifted with cakes, signed shirts and a message of goodwill from majority shareholders Delia Smith and Michael Wynn-Jones.

Christine Futter, director of NorCa, said: “We were thrilled at the generosity and also the willingness to shine a light on the often overlooked social care workforce, who work day in, day out to support people in a variety of settings in the community.

“To see such joy that Norwich City and the Community Sports Foundation have brought to our care providers in Norfolk and Waveney has been truly overwhelming.”
