About Us
The NR5 Project began in 2000 by two volunteers as a response to up to 40 young people congregating in the area and causing anti social behaviour.
Today the project employs 18 full time and part time staff and caters for a much wider client base. There are over 1500 people registered to the NR5 Project and over 500 volunteers have worked with Future Radio.
We have recently relocated to new a building (the old NELM Neighbourhood Centre in the grounds of the Larkman School) and launched the premises officially in May 2007.
The NR5 Project aims to:
- Increase the level of skills including basic, life and existing to contribute to all sectors of the local economy, particularly the cultural and media sectors.
-
Provide transferable skills for other key sectors of the economy.
-
Offer information, advice and guidance through mentoring to young people, their families and to adults.
-
Promote access to activities that contribute to increasing economic well-being, life long learning and personal achievement.
-
Offer alternative curriculum education inclusion for those at risk of exclusion from high school in the NELM area aged 14-16. (Key Stage 4; KS4)
-
Offer a centre for community based activity; delivering multi-media training and ICT facilities which will raise the profile of e-learning, especially amongst those with little or no knowledge of ICT.
-
Offer support to the most vulnerable
-
Our longer term aim to develop a model for replication for other similar community based provision, creating opportunities for participants from the wider Norfolk area.
