Youth workers will listen to the voice of young people and provide local activities and events for them to attend.

These activities and events will aim to improve confidence, self-esteem, and social connections for young people.

The provider will demonstrate appropriate infrastructure to enable delivery of the offer/service across Norfolk and Waveney.
