Stepping Stones Norwich

Stepping Stones is a vibrant charity promoting the
social inclusion of people with learning disabilities.

We give tailored training and we support each individual
to fulfill their potential and encourage steps towards independence. Stepping Stones is a small, vibrant charity for adults with learning disabilities in Norwich. Our vision is for a fairer, more equitable society where adults with learning disabilities receive the education, training and support they require to fulfill their potential. Our mission is to increase our students’ knowledge and confidence, encouraging them to lead more independent and fulfilling lives within their community. Working in a person centred way, we build life skills through our main subject areas - art & enterprise, cooking, creative media, supported employment, health and fitness and horticulture. We love to make food together, cooking with the fresh fruit and veg we grow at our allotment which is a short walk away from the main centre. We produce all kinds of arts and crafts designed and made by our students, these products are then sold as part of our enterprise project. We’re big on photography and video too, with our own mini TV channel, Stepping Stones TV. We really enjoy meeting people and we like finding ways to meet new people, share experiences and create chances for people to learn from each other.

Steve, our wonderful Chair of Trustees, will soon be standing down to fully enjoy his retirement.

This means we are now on the lookout for a new Chair of Trustees, to continue his excellent work going forward and set the tone for the culture and future progression of Stepping Stones.

We are looking for people who have a passion in working with people with disabilities and other marginalised communities. We welcome applications from people with skills and experience that could be useful to the charity such as marketing and comms, social enterprise, education and knowledge of the care and charity sectors.

Today is the last day of and wow, what a fantastic day we have had!

A special mention to one of our students Kate who was in London with us today - Kate has been working towards developing her confidence engaging with the public and she has done a fantastic job representing the students and charity all whilst showcasing her work (which she is holding in the photo)! 🥳👏
