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.
Bags Of Love From Meet Up Meet Up is our Youth and Family Centre on Thetford’s Redcastle Furze Estate. Funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, its main aim is to provide leisure activity and support services for young people and the local community.
It enables them to access provisions in a safe and informal environment and make positive choices and changes where necessary.
While the centre itself is currently closed for its usual groups and activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Meet Up team have been working on a scheme called ‘Bags of Love’ to let Meet Up members know we are still thinking of them at this challenging time.
The Bags of Love provide activities, such as craft kits and puzzle books, which they can enjoy while staying safe at home.
