Connexions

In North Walsham, The Benjamin Foundation manages the local Connexions One Stop Shop in a unique partnership agreement with Connexions Norfolk. The Benjamin Foundation's Rural Advice Project is also based at the Connexions centre and both projects together offer advice, help and guidance to all young people aged between 13 and 19 (up to 25 if a person has learning difficulties or disabilities).

Connexions offers a holistic service to young people and deals with all the problems that confront young people from homelessness to pregnancy, from career choice to benefits. There are specialist advisers for such things as homelessness and drug abuse, and young people are signposted to other resources if they do not have the capability to deal with their problem directly. Young people can access help either on an appointment basis or a drop-in service is also available.

Personal Advisers based at Connexions provide a presence at local secondary schools where pupils can access them for any help or guidance they require.

There is also an Internet Cafe available for young people to use, and it is a popular venue for young people to meet and chat.
