The OPEN Norwich venue is home to a youth charity OPEN Youth Trust (OPEN) which was established in 2005 to provide opportunities for young people in Norfolk. OPEN has extensive experience of working with those who are most disadvantaged, with the longer term aim of making a positive difference to their lives.
The charity, based in the heart of Norwich, is located in a Grade II listed, multi-purpose venue which provides live music, venue hire for conferences, meetings and events as well as being home to a cafe, climbing wall, dance studio, gym and CLOSED secure storage.
The profit from all commercial activities enables the charity to offer a diverse range of different activities, most of which are free to attend, for young people aged 7 – 25.
