Red
House Youth Projects is a charitable Trust which supports work
with young people within the County of Norfolk.
This
support is provided in two main ways:-
"
Financial support via grants
for projects, events etc.
" Opportunities for residential experiences at either of
the two properties owned and
run by the Trust
The
Trust was originally two separate trusts, the Red House School
Trust - the history of which
can be found on this website - and the Norfolk Youth Projects
(originally called Norfolk Children's Projects) which was set
up by those interested in the welfare of young people, in1981
with the object to "promote education and training in the
field of intermediate treatment of children and young people in
the County of Norfolk who are delinquent or exposed to moral danger"
(quoted from the Trust Deed). The definition of 'Intermediate
Treatment' was given as "the education of children and young
persons within the community with a view to reducing the need
for their removal to residential institutions". (quoted from
the Trust Deed).
In
2002 the two Trusts, having very similar objectives worked together
with HM Charity Commission to merge and became the Red House Youth
Projects thus combining the two main benefits and bringing together
the expertise and knowledge of both sets of Trustees.
The
current Trustees are representative of a wide range of experience
within the field of work with young people in the County and who
are committed to supporting this work through the Trust.
