About Us

For over 30 years, Herring House Trust has been supporting homeless people in Great Yarmouth. Each night we provide accommodation and support to over 75 people, who are at all stages of their recovery from homelessness. Our main aim is to help people find the support they need to tackle the issues that have contributed to them becoming homeless. With our help, we support them to move out of homelessness and to live a safe and fulfilled life.

Some people need immediate, emergency housing and support in our Hostel. Others have moved into our supported housing in the community. We provide specialist support through schemes such as our Counselling Service and within our High Support Unit, specifically for people in recovery from a substance dependency.

In addition, we manage a community resource centre, The Herring Centre, offering support to the people we work with who live in their own homes in the community. We provide a range of prevention services, which reduce the risk of repeat homelessness.
