We do several street outreach sessions each week, either early in the morning or late at night. We engage directly with people sleeping rough to inform them of our services and anything else they can access in the Norwich area.
St Martins is the lead partner in the Pathways service. Pathways is an innovative service to support people sleeping rough and those with unmet needs in Norwich. Seven local organisations have joined together to form this collaborative project which uses the combined strength of its members to offer a pioneering model of support. The Pathways principle is that there is ‘no wrong door’ for people to access the help they need. Personalised support is focused around each individual, by qualified and experienced Pathways team members, to encourage a positive outcome for each person.
Other partners involved in the project are Shelter, YMCA Norfolk, The Salvation Army, Future Projects, The Magdalen Group and NSFT (Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust)
The Pathways team can be contacted on 01603 984694 or pathways@stmartinshousing.org.uk
