Boost - Helping Young People Succeed in West Norfolk
Young people
BOOST supports young people aged 16 - 24 across West Norfolk, offering personalised guidance, employability support, skills development and access to training opportunities.
The project is part funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and delivered in partnership with Norfolk County Council and Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk.
What is BOOST?
BOOST is a person-centred, relationship-based programme for young people who may be facing barriers to accessing work, education or training. Our friendly team works alongside each young person to build confidence, identify strengths and creates a personalised plan.
Since launching in King’s Lynn in 2022, BOOST has grown into a borough-wide project supporting even more young people across West Norfolk.
What BOOST offers?
BOOST providers a wide range of support to help young people move forward:
- One-to-one personalised guidance
- Careers information, advice and guidance (IAG)
- Access to youth support services
- A central point for local support and training opportunities
- Connections to employers, training providers and community organisations.
- A person-centred, relationships-based approach
BOOST can help with anything from confidence building to exploring career options – from creative industries to practical qualifications like forklift training.
