What We Do
Last year we helped more than 500 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 at the Purfleet Pantry
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.
Supporting sustainable tenancies with the House2Home project
The Purfleet Trust’s House2Home project provides furniture to clients moving into their new independent accommodation.
With this project, we make sure that every individual has not just a house, but a home – giving them the best start possible on their journey out of homelessness and towards a more positive future.

Training Houses
Supporting independence at our Training Houses
We currently have multiple Training Houses in King’s Lynn that support over 30 people.
Our Training Houses are accommodation with support that helps people develop the skills and behaviours needed for independent living.
Each Training House is supported by a dedicated Independent Living Coach who assists residents with the skills that they need to be able to move forward and break the cycle of homelessness.
Supporting fresh starts with the Castle accommodation
With the success of our Training Houses in King’s Lynn, in 2026, we launched the Castle accommodation in Downham Market.
We have worked with people in Downham Market for a long time, and we are delighted to launch a new project, the Castle, which supports fresh starts for people in the area.
