Empowering people out of homelessness and trauma. Café and charity shop with 20+ rooms. Visit us, shop local and change lives. 📍NR352DT. Dog Friendly 🐾

We are a working community, supporting formerly homeless people by providing a home for as long as is needed, meaningful work opportunities, training and support. We are funded through our social enterprises in Ditchingham and Norwich. We are a community of people who live and work together to support ourselves and help others. YOU can help us by either donating household goods (furniture, good br

ic-a-brac, clothes) or coming to visit our secondhand outlets in Ditchingham and Norwich. We also have a cafe at our Ditchingham community - the Old Orchard Cafe - which serves homemade light lunches, cakes, scones and more, all prepared fresh on-site by our companions. All money raised through our secondhand outlets, cafe and house clearance service goes towards helping us become self-sufficient and helping other people out of homelessness.

You're facing a heatwave, you can't find any shade and you've got no water. This is the reality for people sleeping rough during the heat.

People who are homeless in the summer months are more vulnerable to heat related illnesses. If you see someone sleeping rough around Suffolk here's a few things you can do to help them.

Alerting StreetLink can help local services connect people sleeping rough with vital support. Offering cool drinks and sun protection can also help people stay cool and safe. By donating to a charity like ours, you can help provide safe homes and support people out of homelessness for good 💚

All our residents have experienced homelessness, trauma and isolation and are now gaining skills and confidence in our social enterprises
