We support the local community, particularly the vulnerable, in a deprived area (one of 225 'left behind neighbourhoods in England') - the Magdalen estate in Gorleston, covering NR31. Our model is built around an intentional journey that can see a resident grow from a place of distress and distrust to a life of participation and progression. Residents might join us at any point on this journey. This is delivered through 4 stages: 1. Crisis Relief (food, fuel, household goods and crisis mental /financial support) 2. Community Foundations (10+ community groups, projects and events) 3. Personal Resilience (advice and support services) 4. Progression. (Volunteering and contributing) We partner with Trussell, Great Yarmouth Borough Council, Norfolk County Council, GY Dial and many others to provide an integrated, holistic service. A long term drug addict and alcoholic looks back: ‘my life has changed completely. I now have a job and my family back.’

Great Yarmouth Pathway is a transforming safe space of light, welcome and engagement for the community of Great Yarmouth to support those in need. We operate to address the poverty and social isolation that is so prevalent in the area. Our goal is to be a venue that accommodates a range of services and provision all under one roof. The support offered has four main strands to it: the provision of a hot meal three times a week via our community cafe, a foodbank session once a week to provide emergency food for people in crisis, provision of a warm, safe space where friendships and support can be offered and signposting clients to organisations who can help with their difficult and complex circumstances. In 2025, we served 15,692 hot meals and distributed 4118 food parcels to individuals in our local community.
