The Benjamin Foundation The Benjamin Foundation is a local charity which helps people across Norfolk and Suffolk to deal with some of the challenges that life throws at them. Whether it’s the prevention of youth homelessness, helping families to build stronger relationships or providing positive activities for young people with limited opportunities, our work brings hope, opportunity, stability and independence to the people we support.
Supporting Local Young Carers We are committed to supporting young carers to help them meet some of the unique challenges they face. We want to give them the chance to escape their day to day pressures in a fun and friendly environment and offer them the opportunity to meet new friends and learn new skills.
Having the chance to talk to an understanding and listening ear about their lives is an important part of our support.
We currently run groups for young carers in Watton and Stalham and, since October 2019, we have been working with Carers Matter Norfolk to help deliver the Norfolk County Council funded service for young carers. As part of this service, we offer monthly groups and one to one support for young carers in Norwich, Broadland and part of North Norfolk covering North Walsham, Stalham, Sea Palling and the surrounding areas.
