Suggested formats include evenings out, cooking sessions, games nights, and discussions on employment or volunteering.

This initiative, led by Morgan, Morgan understands the barriers faced by conditions such a ASD having this condition himself and having founded Social FIELD youth club, Open field serves as an extension of the SEN youth club, which we operate independently. We welcome young individuals from across Norfolk, aged between 10 and 18 years. But recognizing the limited opportunities available to youths upon their departure, we have expanded our offer by creating Open FIELD to cater to an older demographic of 18 to 28 years. This program will provide participants with essential social skills and a mature level of engagement, empowering them to make guided choices.
