The CRAB's fundraiser for "Poppy" owned by the Norfolk Charitable Trust

Alan Duff is raising money for The Norfolk Charitable Trust

A CRAB St. Ayles crew row in the Great River Race for Poppy · 12 September 2026

We are a North Norfolk charity providing accessible boating on Blakeney Harbour. Through Poppy and Poppy Freedom, we enable people with disabilities, their families and carers to enjoy nature, wildlife and time together on the water, creating opportunities for freedom, connection and wellbeing.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

A crew from the Coastal Rowing Association of Blakeney (CRAB) will be in Saturday's Great River Race, competing in the St. Ayles Skiff category. We train in Blakeney harbour where the Poppy, a "wheeley boat" enables those less mobile than ourselves to be on the water "with" us to enjoy the beautiful location.

We'd like to dedicate this fundraising to the Norfolk Charitable Trust who own and operate Poppy.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

If you would like to track our progress, we are in the boat "Bluejacket", Number 63 starting at Millwall at 12:59 and finishing at Ham around 16:00. Our six crew number a total of 413 years so what we may lack in speed, we have in experience and sense of fun!

There will be a live feed so you can follow us on the map. https://greatriverrace.org.uk/live-map/

Thanking you in anticipation
