The charity was founded by Richard and Vanessa Draper as a positive response to the tragedy of losing their young son Benjamin in a road traffic accident. They wanted to create something special to celebrate his life. What started as a small youth outreach project in North Norfolk has grown into one of East Anglia's largest charities, focused on tackling youth homelessness, providing Early Years education, youth and family support, and emotional wellbeing and mental health services. Everything we do is driven by the needs of people in Norfolk and Suffolk. The charity's work remains rooted in Richard and Vanessa's commitment to providing people with hope, opportunity, stability and independence.
