Vitally on moving day, Mark was there, every step of the way (even cooking steak with the young person in their new flat ). Thank you, Mark Hisgrove!" Mark, we are so proud to have you on our team.

🎄❄️ Now that it’s getting colder (and the snow has even started to fall), have you booked your festive night to sing along with friends and family? ✨ On Thursday, 5th December, come together at the breathtaking Cathedral of St John the Baptist for an unforgettable evening of Christmas carols. Enjoy the angelic voices of the Norwich School Choir and Bel Sonus as they fill the cathedral with the sounds of your favourite festive songs. It’s a night full of joy, warmth, and music that will leave you feeling truly enchanted. Proceeds from the event will raise vital funds to support local young people in and leaving care. Tickets start at under £10. Reserve yours in the comments.

We are honoured to announce that Mr Plastic is sponsoring a sculpture on this year’s GoGoSafari trail. This holds special meaning as we remember their beloved MD, Andy Cole, who sadly passed away in April. Andy was a passionate supporter of Break and absolutely loved being part of the trail in previous years. His dinosaur, Sir Davidsaurus Rex, even garnered recognition from Sir David Attenborough. We're grateful to Mr Plastic for continuing Andy’s legacy of generosity and community spirit by returning to the trail. Andy's impact and kindness lives on.

🎄 It’s 31 days until Christmas, and we have five care experienced young people who would love to have a Christmas tree this year, but we need your help. If you are able, please consider purchasing a tree from Break’s Amazon wishlist to bring some festive magic. We also have lots of items that we have identified young people would love or need. It takes just a few clicks and is sent directly to Break to take to them safely. Click the link in the comments. Thank you for taking a moment to bring Christmas to young people in your community this year 💙 Thank you for browsing the wishlist:
