How are the funds raised? In its first year FONCY raised an amazing sum of £15,000; by the end of 2009 FONCY smashed the £330,000 barrier. Many ideas and schemes have been suggested, tried and tested. Some have been retained whilst others have reached their objectives or have been one off events or donations. These include: Youth Bonds - available now! A £100 donation in exchange for a non-redeemable bond.
Donations
Miscellaneous donations large and small from a wide cross-section of supporters.
Travel Sponsorship
From 1996 to 2001 two local companies - Duffields of East Anglia and Banham Poultry - each gave a generous donation to FONCY specifically for use to pay for Youth Team travel to away matches - over the period this totalled £15,000.
