The workshop started up in 1908 under the name of Norwich Blind Institution.
Norfolk County Council took over the workshop in 1980 and changed the title to Norfolk Industries for the Blind. We were a small factory producing mats, wire work items and general trades including toiletries, paper collating services and packaging services.
People with disabilities, particularly sight impairments, have always been employed in all areas of the business. Norfolk Industries’ ultimate remit is to provide ‘meaningful work’ for disadvantaged people in the local community.
