25 years of Hope, Opportunity, Stability and Independence

2019 marks the 25th anniversary since our charity was founded in 1994.

For quarter of a century we have been helping people across Norfolk and Suffolk to deal with some of the challenges life throws at them; bringing hope, opportunity, stability and independence to the people we support. To celebrate this milestone, we are hosting a number of exciting events, including our Flight for Youth Art Installation.

Our 25th anniversary year is a wonderful opportunity to generate even more awareness for the work we do as well as raise much needed funds to secure our future.

If you would like to support us, we would love to hear from you – please get in touch on 01603 615670.

Help us build a kaleidoscope of butterflies to celebrate 25 years of The Benjamin Foundation and raise £100,000 to bring hope, opportunity, stability and independence to the vulnerable people we support.

Our flagship anniversary celebration is our Flight for Youth art installation featuring our much-loved and well recognised butterfly to create up to 25,000 glazed pottery keepsakes, which the public can buy and ‘loan’ back to us, to be included in the installations.

We are delighted to confirm that the installations will be hosted by Holkham Hall and The Assembly House in Norwich for the duration of the summer.
