Viv teaches us computers and horticulture and Linda is our cookery tutor. Bob, Jane, Phillip, Wendy and Keith are the Trustees of the Charity. Our Resource Centre is in Norwich city centre which is good for our life skills projects. In the centre itself we have a large kitchen in which we learn about cooking. We also have computers and other things in our IT room. The things we learn at Stepping Stones include: How to use computers Arts and Crafts Cooking Growing Fruit and Vegetables Numeracy, Literacy and Communication Skills Getting around (Public Transport) & Meeting + dealing with people
Our Mission Statement reads: 'Our aim is for us all to increase our skills, so that we are better able to make choices to promote our independence, in our personal and working lives.' All of us on the project are 18 years or older. Our training programme has been specially designed to meet our individual needs. Sometimes Angie arranges work placements for us in the city. New students who wish to join us usually come when Angie is asked by Social Services or by parents if there is a place available. If you would like to come and see what we do, please phone Angie on 01603 762944. |

How the Project was set up The project was established after several years of consultation - and hard work! We are an independent body and a registered charity. Our core funding comes from private trusts and charities. We work closely with the Local Authority but are not responsible to them, being anxious to maintain our independent status. We value this greatly and are sure of the benefits this brings in the way that we can organise the training. The people who founded the project are themselves parents and guardians of young people with learning difficulties, working with young people with learning difficulties or are concerned with the provision available for them. They are therefore in a very good position to understand the problems such young people face, having seen such problems at first hand.
