Overview: what we offer as a charity...

As an educational charity we offer a huge amount of enthusiasm and determination to help inspire young people at secondary schools and colleges in Norfolk. Below is a overview of what schools and colleges, who follow our Membership Programme for Schools, can receive from our charity. For further information, please click here to download an information booklet. Please note that from September 2025, schools and colleges will be required to pay a small monthly subscription to join our Membership Programme which can be renewed or cancelled at the beginning of an academic year. All funds generated from the Membership Programme will go directly to sustaining our charitable work for the future.
