ALDI KINGS LYNN

A christian movement committed to putting belief into action: taking a holistic approach, engaging with physical, emotional and spiritual needs, offering services without discrimination. in addition to christian worship, in buildings and the open air, services include drop in centres, lunch clubs, parent and toddler groups, debt advice, youth clubs, after school clubs & emergency food parcels.

We are aiming to make sure that people can come in and eat at least two meals a day. We have an experienced cook who works with a team of volunteers to produce nutritious meals from food donations. We also run a project called Purfleet Pantry where people can join our membership club to be part of a scheme giving them access to cooking lessons, health and nutrition sessions and weekly grocery parcels. We are aiming to eradicate food poverty amongst our clients and the wider community and to provide coaching around nutrition, health and well-being.

We provide more than just a place to sleep. The extra support we give changes the lives of our clients, and helps them to find a future where they don’t have return to the streets. We are open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, helping homeless people move forward with their lives while providing them with a safe and supportive place to live. Our clients are provided with supper and breakfast, use of shower facilities and toiletries, hot drinks, a clean bed and bedding, warmth and security. They are offered support including assistance with claiming benefits, accommodation, training and education, searching for employment, and help with any drug and alcohol issues.
