About

The Mason Trust has a long history of helping young people in Norfolk and Suffolk to realise their potential, pursue their career aspirations and to take control of their own futures through our one-to-one, group and online provisions.

Some of the projects we are involved in...

Our Mentoring Service encompasses our Step Forward Scheme in Diss and Lowestoft. We aim to give young people the help they need and deserve to move forward into employment, assigning a mentor to work with candidates on a one-to-one basis, helping to identify and overcome barriers to work. 

Working on confidence issues, identifying skills, helping to locate relevant job opportunities and providing assistance with CV writing, interview techniques and mock interviews - we can also refer candidates on to other services for help and advice on specific issues. Our programmes are about putting people back in control of their own futures, working with mentors who care and want to make a difference.   

We operate the icanbea… website - a local careers platform and digital careers fair that showcases the best, accessible opportunities the area has to offer to young people.  We have hundreds of the region's employers represented on the site sharing their job opportunities and we feature career information for multiple growth industries as well as support tools for things like CV writing.

Funding for Individuals - Our 'Small Change' Grant provides sums of around £100 to help young people in Norfolk and Suffolk take that next step through education, training, work or along their chosen career path.
