First year students in Occupational Therapy at the University of East Anglia (UEA) took part in a virtual placement at St Martins where they met staff, clients and volunteers and received a unique insight into homelessness support.

A government questionnaire of people sleeping rough highlights the multiple difficulties people face, including poor mental health, childhood trauma and domestic violence. The findings will inform important prevention work.

St Martins offers a counselling service for people who would like to make the most of their time with us by offering them a service that helps address things like debilitating anxiety, past trauma and bereavement.

There was much publicity about the government’s call to ‘get everybody in’ in March last year. The Pathways service has continued to ensure that in Norwich we ‘keep everyone in’ and no one needs to resort to sleeping on the streets.

Homeless people in Norwich are tucking into dishes such as macaroni cheese and pulled pork thanks to the generosity of  Norwich School, who are providing more than 100 hot meals per day to people supported by St Martins.
