i'hose in dan8er of exclusion from school, Ivith a view to improving their career prospetts, life skills and helping them
to grow and mature as indivlduals and members of Society, both in Morfolk and thc wider world.
Our core activity is working Wlth young people who h8ve been excluded from school or who are attending school but
Could benefit from the different style of courses that we promde. We work with secondary. short stay and 5peci31
schools amongst others. We i4150 offer Bursary places to home-schooled youn8 people and older students who may be
NEET Inot in Educalion, Employmenl or Tr?iningl. These placements are funded by 8rant5 and donations from various
sources and offer an opportunity for our sludents to gain experience and life skills that will help them into higher
education, an apprenticeship or employment.
Achlevement and performance
Open Road West Noriolk continues to maintain Sts support for sludellts workin8 towards and attaininB accreditpd
qualifications in motor vehiclo studies, engineering and construction trades. Our Students are able to increase their
self-e5teem and build confidencc to enter the workplace. To help them achieve their aword5 we are currently able lo
provide up to IOQ training days per week.
Our staffing levels remain stron8 currently with three full timÈ trainers, two full.lime Workshop Assisiants and now a
full time Business Manager who looks after the administrative elements of the chariLy alongside workin8 With existing
and new lunders. We are a150 loriunaEe ro have 4 volunteers.
Our MD continues to look at opportunities to stren8thon our team and the charity is benefitting enormou51y from ihe
oversight and organisational ski115 that the expanded team provide5.
We remain ever grateful to accountants Stephenson Smart for providing us with bookkeeping and payroll 5UPPQrt. We
must also thank, Anglian Recyclin6, Copart, Snap-on, VARTA, Adrian Flux, Norfolk Comrnunity Foundalion and many
others for their valuable and on8oin8 assistance during the year. We are of course also indebted to all the 8rant
making bodies anLI trusts that have helped us financially during tho ye2r and these are lisled elsewhere in the
ccounts. Without all this help we would not be hero.
All our students atlending the motor vehicle workshop are working towards the Institute of the Motor Industry IIMII
atcredited qualification5 at Lcvel l. During 2023, the Level l Award in Automotive Maintenance was achieved by 22
students. and the Level I Certificète in AutOFnQtive Maintenance was achieved by 6 students. I student attained
Diploma. Students 3ttending the construction workshop dre workin8 towards a Pearson BTEC Level I Introductory
Awdrd in Construction. 15 student5 rjchieved their Lev21 l Award, and 8 Students achieved a Level I CertlTicate in
Construction. I student also received their Diploma in Construction skills. 01.her students are still working towards
those qualifications and the merit of the courses is that thev can progress at their own pace, achieving incremental
success, therefore building their self-confiden¢e and esteem.
We look forward next year to be able to ofter a level 2 Award in Automotive fvlaintenante alongside our existing Level
I Course.
The majority of our school age Students are of course funded by the Schools that they axond. o.ar post 16 students
however are entirely reliant on our ability to give them a fundpd pllsce on the course. Thesp students are very grateful
for this opportun ity and ihp finarncial %upport rhey have received through the bursary scheme that we oporaie.
