Patron | SE1 United

Patron

Lord Normanton became Patron of SE1 United in 2003 when he was introduced to the charity by Kate Hoey MP for Vauxhall, also a staunch supporter of the organisation.

Each year a group of young people are invited to his country seat,Somerley House in Dorset, where they enjoy clay pigeon shooting, archery and learning the skills to survive outdoors, giving them a chance to get out of the city and open their eyes to countryside life.

The visit is the highlight of the year for many of the young members.

“SE1 United is not like other youth clubs. What I really like is that the young people are involved all facets of the organisation and really lead on decisions which move the organisation forward. Whenever I meet the young people from SE1 United I am impressed by how confident and well spoken they are. It is clear that SE1 United has an incredibly positive effect on its members and seeing many of them grow over the years and achieve so much makes me very proud to be involved.”
