The Benjamin Foundation Monthly Update

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.

STAY:UP - A New Virtual Fundraising Event For 2020

On Friday 9th October 2020, we’re challenging you to STAY:UP all night to help us end youth homelessness in Norfolk and Suffolk.

Whether you STAY:UP solo or as part of a team or a family, the challenge is simple: Tackle your tiredness, fight the fatigue, banish bedtime and whatever you do, don’t fall asleep! Get sponsored for your challenge and your one night without sleep could help a local young person to turn their life around.

We're running this virtual fundraising event because each night, The Benjamin Foundation provides a safe home and support for over 100 vulnerable local young people aged 16-25. That’s over 40,000 safe nights every year.

We help the young people to gain confidence and life skills so they can take their next steps towards forging successful, independent lives.

During our STAY:UP event, we'll provide interesting and fun content through the night on the hour, every hour, to help you keep awake.

Huge thanks to our headline sponsor Clapham & Collinge Solicitors for supporting this event.

About The Benjamin Foundation - In Kerry’s Own Words

“The Benjamin Foundation gives you somewhere safe to live if you come from somewhere where you feel unsafe. Support for the charity helps young people like me to create a better future.

“The staff have been great; they’ve helped me so much. I have also been given financial support too. For example, when I arrived, I didn’t have many clothes so they gave me a £100 voucher for Primark - this was a huge help, especially in the Winter.”
