What We Do
Last year we helped more than 600 people in King’s Lynn and West Norfolk through our homelessness services. Our services aim to directly give help where it is needed, from homelessness support and advice, to tenancy support and skills, food- and furniture- poverty support, and employment support to get people back into work.
We work directly with people experiencing homelessness and provide them with the tools to make positive, long-term changes to their lives. Our aim to is to provide people with the services and facilities to move forward on positive pathways and break the cycle of homelessness.

Purfleet Pantry
Supporting our community
In 2023, we launched the Purfleet Pantry.
The Purfleet Pantry is King’s Lynn’s first social supermarket, and in it’s first year of opening helped over 1,000 people.
From the Purfleet Pantry, we aim to support the wider community, not only with affordable food and essentials, but also through accessible workshops, classes and activities to give them the skills and information they need to move forward on sustainable futures out of poverty.
Supporting employment
Our Pathways project at Purfleet Pathways gives our clients the skills and behaviours they need to find sustainable and fulfilling employment.
At Pathways, we offer a range of employability workshops and practical voluntary roles such as upcycling, delivery assistants and warehouse operative work to prepare people for future work.

Training Houses
Supporting tenants
We currently have six Training Houses in King’s Lynn that support 30 tenants.
These tenants are placed in our Training Houses to help develop the skills and behaviours needed for future independent living.
Each Training House is supported by a dedicated Support Worker who assist tenants with the skills that they need to be able to move forward and break the cycle of homelessness.
