Since launching in 2017, the Norfolk Community College project has engaged with over 1,500 adults across Norfolk. The project is an employment support programme aimed to help unemployed adults who are aged 25 and over and have been out of employment for over 6 months back into work, education, or training to help them get back on their feet.

Take a look at the impact Norfolk Community College has had on helping to support communities, individuals, and even employees on the project.

The Norfolk Community College project’s ‘Sector Based Work Academy’ has provided support to many participants across Norfolk, including Steve Whittle – better known as Mr. Kayak!

Steve was unemployed for a number of years due to having a back problem that stopped him from working as a builder.

Steve had an idea for a business and needed help and advice in setting up as self-employed. The support Steve received from Action Community Enterprises helped him not only formulate a solid business plan, but also advised him with budgeting, digital marketing and helping him to realise his dream of opening a retail premises.

Mr. Kayak recently opened its doors at Unit 5, Hall Farm Business Park, Rollesby selling kayaks, paddleboards and accessories in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. They have an open day on Saturday 18th February where you can visit this success story for yourself! 🎉
