Celebrating 60 Years with Family, Fun and Fundraising
23/07/2025
We recently swapped tools for paddle boards and spreadsheets for slices of pizza - all to mark something pretty special: 60 years of Cooks Blinds & Shutters.
To celebrate six decades in business, we hosted a Family Fun Day at the stunning Salhouse Broad. It was a chance to say a big thank you to our brilliant team and their families, and to raise money for a cause close to our hearts: Nansa - the Norfolk and Norwich SEND Association.
A Day to Remember
The sun came out, the water sparkled, and the atmosphere was full of laughter and connection. With rounders, volleyball, canoeing, paddle boarding and kayaking on the agenda, there was no shortage of ways to get stuck in. Whether people were splashing about on the water or cheering from the shoreline, the whole day had a great energy.
For those with a sweet tooth (and there were many!), Vintage Chic served up nostalgic treats from their beautiful vintage trailer - think Suffolk ice cream and jars of sweets. Barmaster Bars kept everyone refreshed, and even helped us debut a new favourite: Blindor Cider, brewed specially in aid of Nansa.
Food, Music and Good Times
As the evening rolled in, we were treated to fresh, delicious pizzas from Benissimo, followed by an infectious live set from the incredible Move Your Brass, who had everyone up and dancing in no time.
More than just a party, the event was about giving back to our local community - and we're proud to say we raised £216.65 for Nansa through the day's activities. On top of that, we're also making our quarterly charity contribution of £250, bringing the total donation to £466.65 in support of the amazing work Nansa does for children and adults with special educational needs and disabilities across Norfolk.
Thank You
To everyone who joined us, brought their families, served drinks, played music, dished up food, or simply helped make it all happen - thank you. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to mark 60 years of trading.
Here’s to the next chapter - and more days like this along the way.
