A new million-pound facility for children with social, emotional and mental health needs will be dedicated to a much-missed lifeboat stalwart on Friday (January 21).
The Specialist Resource Base at Caister Infant and Junior Schools will be based in The Derek George Building.
Friday's dedication event will see the chair of Norfolk County Council Penny Carpenter and the mayor of Great Yarmouth Councillor Adrian Thompson jointly open the new facility at 3.45pm.
The ceremony will be attended by Mr George’s widow Vivienne and his family, along with representatives of the lifeboat.
The Specialist Resource Base will serve key stage two children from across East Norfolk who are struggling in their home school settings.
Placements are short-term with the aim of reintegrating children back in their schools as soon as it is practicable.
