Norwich

We have been working in Norwich since 2021.

Last year we supported over 45 Future Leaders to realise their potential and plan pathways to their ambitions.

Being part of the Villiers Park scheme has helped massively […] Being part of a community that can help me become the best version of myself and has really helped me moving forwards.

I was already thinking about going to university but this residential is definitely helping me, like helped open my eyes to not only the options outside of uni, but how much I enjoyed being at university.

Why Norwich?

Norwich is among the bottom five local authorities in England for educational metrics such as academic achievement and skill levels and training and has seen a dramatic rise in benefit claimants since the start of the pandemic. Norwich includes eight Lower layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) ranked in the top 10% most deprived nationally. These areas represent around 13,000 residents.
