Money Talks with Liam Halligan: Lorraine Bliss MBC

Published

on



Welcome to Money Talks – a series of interviews with Liam Halligan, Economics and Business Editor of GB News.

In this episode, Liam talks to Lorraine Bliss, who runs St Edmunds, in Norwich.

An award-winning charity, St Eds – as it’s known – provides vocational training to some 250 teenagers from across East Anglia – some of regular school age, others who are 16-plus.

There are over a million young people in the UK not in education, employment or training for work – so-called NEETS. Their numbers have soared since Covid lockdown.

Students at St Ed’s have often been excluded from school, leaving with no qualifications.

But despite receiving no direct government funding, and relying heavily on contributions from local business, Lorraine and her staff teach teenagers hands-on skills – from bricklaying to hair and beauty, from motor-mechanics to carpentry – that can help them earn a decent living.
