Stepping Stones Norwich

Stepping Stones Norwich A vibrant charity for adults with learning disabilities in Norwich. We’re big on photography and video too, with our own mini TV channel, Stepping Stones TV.

Stepping Stones is a small, vibrant charity for adults with learning disabilities in Norwich. Our vision is for a fairer, more equitable society where adults with learning disabilities receive the education, training and support they require to fulfill their potential. Our mission is to increase our students’ knowledge and confidence, encouraging them to lead more independent and fulfilling lives within their community. Working in a person centred way, we build life skills through our main subject areas - art & enterprise, cooking, creative media, supported employment, health and fitness and horticulture. We love to make food together, cooking with the fresh fruit and veg we grow at our allotment which is a short walk away from the main centre. We produce all kinds of arts and crafts designed and made by our students, these products are then sold as part of our enterprise project. We really enjoy meeting people and we like finding ways to meet new people, share experiences and create chances for people to learn from each other.
