Your Own Place Group workshops
(open to all on NCAN)
We believe everyone should have a safe and secure home, so we work with people to build their skills, knowledge and confidence about money and housing. We work alongside people, don't give advice, and support them to find their own solutions.
At our small (3-5 people), informal 2-hour group workshops, we facilitate knowledge sharing on:
- budgeting
- debts
- benefits
- where to find specialist help.
Our aim is to build confidence and motivation so that people feel more able to take action and more in control of their situation.
We run workshops during the week in central Norwich locations. We will speak to the referral to agree the best workshop date for them.
We can offer one-to-one support following on from our workshops.
Criteria:
We support people living in Norwich and Greater Norwich area (18+) who are accessing help from a food bank or at risk of needing to.
About how we work:
We take the time to build relationships with people so that our engagement and referral pathway — including spending time in the food hubs and the community — reaches as many people as possible. Nothing happens without trust.
