Nelson’s Journey Purple Picnic

14th – 20th July 2025

Why hold a Purple Picnic?

Your donations help to change the lives of children and young people across Norfolk

Nelson’s Journey has spent the past 26 years supporting Norfolk’s bereaved children and young people.  With no government support, we rely solely on the amazing support of our donors and fundraisers to keep us going.  Campaigns like the Purple Picnic not only help to raise vital funds that we need to continue the work that we do, but also to increase brand awareness and make sure everyone has heard of Nelson’s Journey and the important work that we do.

From £5 for a memory jar to £300 for a residential weekend, every penny you raise goes towards supporting children and young people within our care. Never underestimate the difference a few pounds can make!
