Our impact
Working across East Anglia, we empower young people to overcome challenges and unlock their potential through tailored support, mentoring, and skill-building.
Our Impact Report highlights examples of the difference we have made to young people's lives, not only to their present but also to their future.
The young people we support are at the very centre of all our decisions and activity. Thanks to them, we are clearer than ever about where we are going, what we want to achieve and how we do this.

In 2025/26, we introduced the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale.
Our young people scored an average of 24.1/35 (69%), closely aligning with the national average in the general population — really encouraging given that care experience is tied to a higher risk of mental health difficulties.
