As the snow recedes, it is business as usual for Norwich but local charity St Martins says that the issue of homelessness won’t melt away with the snow.

As Norfolk experiences a cold snap, people sleeping rough in Norwich can access emergency accommodation through the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP).

Music is a great tool through which to encourage self expression, give people a voice as well as build their self esteem and confidence.

The official street count of rough sleepers in Norwich for 2017 was 30, slightly less than last year, but it remains unacceptably high.

St Martins has been around in Norwich for over 40 years. We are in this for the long term, every day of the year, despite every obstacle. Homelessness is not just a Christmas crisis.

Over Christmas, St Martins staff gave out over 100 bags of goodies donated by the public to residents at the Bishopbridge House hostel and other accommodation across St Martins.

People collecting for St Martins this Christmas explain why they do it.

Members of Under 1 Roof, St Martins training and development centre, have worked together to produce a charity calendar for 2018.

St Martins, alongside lead partner Together for Mental Wellbeing, has been selected by Norfolk County Council to belong to a partnership to deliver mental health support to people living across the county.
