THE HEART OF WHAT

WE DO

VOLUNTEERING is at the heart of what we do

We have over 800 volunteers registered with our own county-

EMPLOYABILITYTarget Opportunities Project and Talent Match

We’ve been delivering employability services in Norwich and Great Yarmouth for over 5 years and our programmes out perform the Work Programme; often volunteering provides a vital first step towards work.
