We are a Norfolk-based charity and an approved, accredited vocational training centre dedicated to supporting young people to reach their full potential. Many of our learners have found mainstream education challenging, but with the right environment, encouragement, and hands-on learning, they are discovering their potential and building brighter futures.

We provide practical, skills-based training and essential qualifications in areas such as:

Construction and Bricklaying

Catering and Hospitality

Mechanics

Hair and Beauty

Health and Social Care

These are practical, rewarding professions that form the backbone of our communities. Alongside trade training, all learners work towards core Maths and English qualifications, as well as developing life skills, confidence, and employability.

Each week, we work with over 180 students, and demand for our support continues to grow. Our most recent results show:

79% of post-16 students achieved their main aim qualification.

84% retention rate, a 6% improvement on the previous year.

93% of learners progressed to a positive destination such as employment, further education, or training.

Every success story proves that with the right opportunities, every young person can thrive.

As a charity, St-Eds does not receive direct statutory funding to support our young people, and we rely on the generosity of supporters to continue and expand this life-changing work. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us reach more young people and give them the opportunities they deserve.
