One service, many partners
Seven local organisations are commissioned by Norwich City Council to address rough sleeping and support people with complex needs in Norwich. The project, entitled Pathways, uses the combined strength of its members to offer a pioneering and collaborative model that has not been seen before.
How We Work
The Pathways principle is that there is ‘no wrong door’ for people to access the help they need. Personalised support is focused around each individual, by qualified and experienced Pathways team members, to encourage a positive outcome for each person.
The Pathways team comprises experienced and qualified specialists, employed by the partner organisations.
