St Martin‘s Homeless Charity
St Martins - More Than A Home For The Homeless
St Martins is the largest homelessness charity in Norfolk and has been working for nearly 50 years to support people who are homeless and at risk of homelessness.
The Covid 19 pandemic caused serious challenges to everybody, from business and education to health services and the charity sector. It is hard to think of anything positive in relation to the virus other than the response to the request made at the end of March 2020 to ‘get everybody in’. What was previously thought impossible was achieved practically overnight; people sleeping rough were offered accommodation immediately. In Norwich, along with their partners, St Martins supported 120 people in emergency hotel accommodation during the Covid crisis.
Many of those people are now in secure and permanent accommodation. The need for St Martins’ services continues into 2021 and there is a real desire to ‘keep everybody in’ and continue to support people to live independent and fulfilling lives.
More people at risk of losing their jobs and homes means that St Martins services are needed now more than ever.
People leaving a gift in their will to St Martins help us make a direct impact in reducing the number of homeless people on the streets. With their generous support, we can ensure St Martins continues to provide valuable support for homeless people and those at risk of homelessness in Norwich for the next 50 years and beyond.
