provide training and work experience to 15 exoffenders, helping them learn new skills and take the next step into full time employment.

In February 2020, Breckland Council Members approved funding for £1 million for a 3-year Inspiring Communities programme aimed at protecting the most vulnerable in our community. Over 5000 residents have been helped by this programme since its inception.

Three years later we are delighted to announce that this ground breaking project has been funded for a further 2 years after making a significant impact in supporting numerous residents and their families.

Inspiring Communities aims to make a positive improvement to the health and wellbeing of our residents, tackling issues such as domestic abuse, mental health, social isolation and loneliness and general welfare needs. The £1 million scheme has been so successful it has saved an estimated £1.8m in public service intervention support.
