Youth & Community Services

Youth and Community services have been a staple of The Benjamin Foundation’s work for three decades. We run various youth groups, youth outreach and youth ambassador projects, a specialist short break service for young people with disabilities, family support groups, parent and toddler groups and a range of young carer support services. There is often as much emphasis on young people having fun as there is on wellbeing and social welfare support. 

Attleborough Youth Project

Featuring games, crafts, sensory activities and opportunities to learn new skills, Attleborough Youth Project supports those aged 8-17 with separate youth groups for SEN children.

Specialist Short Breaks Groups

Our Specialist Short Breaks group sessions are set up in 3 areas; Attleborough, King’s Lynn and Fakenham. Offering opportunities for children and young people with needs and disabilities to make friends, develop their skills and, most importantly, have lots of fun in a safe and relaxed space. 

Boom! Young Carers

We are committed to supporting Young Carers to help them meet some of the unique challenges they face. Having the chance to talk to an understanding and listening ear about their lives is an important part of our support for Young Carers.

Meet up

Meet Up, on Thetford’s Redcastle Furze Estate, is one of our youth provision and community services. Established in 2010, it especially seeks to raise young people’s aspirations and ambitions and support them in reaching their life goals.

Watton Youth Group

We provide positive activities for young people who may have limited opportunities, giving young people a safe, supportive environment where our staff will give them opportunities to learn, socialise and be a positive part of their community.

Watton Space Project

The SPACE fund will have a significant positive impact on young people in our community. As part of the Sir Norman Lamb Coalition, we are grateful for the support of the SPACE fund and look forward to working together through this new project.
