Proud Canaries

Proud Canaries is 10 years old in 2023 and was the first LGBTQIA+ fan group in the country to be officially recognised when Norwich City welcomed the group to its fan family. We often have a drink before and after home games at Lollards Pit pub and sometimes attend away games together; meeting up with other clubs’ LGBTQIA+ fans when we can. We have a regular dialogue with club management and link up with other supporter groups – working together to combat discrimination and champion inclusion. Join us via our website and follow us on socials: @proudcanaries (Twitter, Insta and Facebook)
