A gentle reminder to all parents/carers/grandparents that tomorrow morning from 9.30am to 11am is our FREE weekly Toddler Group for children aged new born to 5 years old.

Numbers have been really low this year and we would hate to see a free service lost in Thetford. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Learn about Paige's story, who was supported by our housing support team!

https://benjaminfoundation.co.uk/sleep-out/

Paige โญ๏ธ
๐Ÿ“Norfolk, The Benjamin Foundation

๐Ÿ’ฅ Paige found herself sofa-surfing after falling out with her family. She was dealing with anxiety and ADHD when she found her local EveryYouth charity, the Benjamin Foundation.

๐Ÿซ‚ The dedicated housing support team quickly found her a place to live and helped her get settled in.

๐Ÿ™Œ Since then, Paige has worked hard to get into a better place emotionally and has been supported to go back to college to complete her education.

This is why events like Sleep Out are so important. Together, we can support even more young people like Paige towards an independent future! โœŠ

About The Benjamin Foundation

The Benjamin Foundation charity was founded in 1994 and since then we have been helping people across Norfolk, and more recently in Suffolk, to deal with some of the challenges that life throws at them. Whether itโ€™s the prevention of youth homelessness, helping families to build stronger relationships, or providing emotional well-being support and positive activities for young people with limited opportunities in life, our work brings hope, opportunity, stability and independence to the people we support.

ยท We work to prevent youth homelessness by providing a home and support to over 100 vulnerable young adults at any time. We give the young people a stable home and provide the skills they need so they can leave us and forge an independent life.

ยท We deliver a range of services, such as emotional well-being support to support children, young people and families facing challenges. By helping at an early stage our work aims to prevent more serious problems arising in the future.

ยท We provide childcare in a safe, supportive environment which gives their parents peace of mind.
