We are a local charity that has been supporting people in Norfolk since 1856. We focus on young people, helping them to play an active role within their community.
We work with disadvantaged young people and families who are at a point of crisis in their lives, including those who have been affected by homelessness and support them towards a brighter future. Every night we provide a safe home and support for over 260 vulnerable homeless young people across the county, offering opportunities to develop their life skills, education and employability to help prepare them for independent living.
We offer services and support to young people and their families in the wider Norfolk community to enable them to fulfil their potential.
We help people to believe in themselves, inspire them to raise their aspirations and support them to achieve their goals so they have a brighter future.
