We are always striving to provide more support and help people in new ways. Previously, we have run craft workshops, walking groups, radio production workshops, upcycling and so much more!

We have supported living Training Houses across King's Lynn that manage to help our clients learn how to be a valued member of the community and maintain sustainable independent tenancies.
The Purfleet Pantry social supermarket on Southgates Roundabout is a shop offering affordable food, essentials and furniture to the wider public in South Lynn and beyond to help tackle the Cost of Living Crisis in our area.
