On Friday the government asked local authorities to house all rough sleepers. Along with our partners, we have done that. As new people arrive on the streets, we are responding to their needs too. In addition to housing, these people need specialist support and we continue to provide that.

Before the word ‘isolated’ took on a new meaning, it described many of the people St Martins supports. Due to poor mental health and sometimes other factors, including addiction and illness, there are a number of people who receive regular contact from our Community Services team.

When we can no longer do them, we realise just how important social activities are in our lives.  Imagine then, how important social activities are for people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness?

We are following government guidance in relation to the Coronavirus.  We are committed to keeping the people we support and our team members safe.

A weekend of events focusing on homelessness was held at Norwich Cathedral, including a sleepout, a living library, a book talk and information about how the public can help.

The money was raised over the past twelve months mainly from collecting outside major supermarkets, an effort co-ordinated by Old Buckenham resident Michael Bartlett, who has been a committed supporter of St Martins for many years.
