"Rough sleepers need a roof over their heads. They need a warm bed. And we provide that. But they also need a reason to get out of it in the morning. St Martins helps homeless people, and those at risk, by offering them a hand up. We nurture their self-esteem and trust in other people. We empower them to make positive choices. To some, we are a lifelong solution. To others, we are a stepping stone to rebuilding their lives.
St Martins is a local charity working in Norwich and Norfolk for over 50 years. Our street outreach team know who is sleeping rough in Norwich. Our hostel Bishopbridge House offers direct access to rough sleepers. We support people to move on from the hostel to independent living, whilst helping address addictions, medical needs, and other issues along the way. People with diagnosed mental health problems and drug and alcohol dependency are looked after at our registered care home. Our clients aren’t only rough sleepers - there are many vulnerably housed people on the brink of homelessness, often due to mental health issues or the breakdown of relationships. St Martins want to prevent homelessness as well as supporting people out of it. "
