Fulmerston Family Project seeks to provide affordable groups and activities for children and families in the Barnham Cross area of Thetford.
Why the community needs usEach week we have two parent and toddler group sessions, four pre-nursery sessions and a drop-in cafe.
We look to offer our families new experiences and opportunities through subsidised, affordable trips and activities. We are user - led.
We offer support to families in time of need. By networking with agencies and other groups, we can often assist them in gaining the help they deserve.
We offer oppotunities for our users to become trained volunteers.
Our impact on the communityLast summer, during our holiday activities programme, we engaged with 32 adults and 52 children. 8 experienced their first train journey and 3 had their first visit to the seaside!
We have recently opened an extra session of our pre-nursery group due to user demand and we still have a waiting list.
Over the past four years, 14 or so users have become trained volunteers and three have used the experience to move on to full time employment.
