We are raising funds for young people in Norfolk experiencing homelessness, poverty and isolation this winter.
With winter fast approaching, MAP is launching its first ever Winter Giving Campaign, raising awareness of and funds for young people in Norfolk experiencing homelessness, poverty and isolation this winter.
MAP’s three Hubs in Norwich, Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn regularly support young people who are currently homeless or living in insecure accommodation. Furthermore, many are experiencing food and fuel poverty and are simply unable to meet their basic needs, let alone find community, enjoyment or a sense of calm during the colder months.
MAP's Hubs serve areas in the highest 10% of deprivation nationally. We see high levels of unemployment, low access to social housing and extremely high rates of poverty. We support many young people with marginalised identities including refugees, LGBTQ+, young parents, care leavers and young people living with disabilities. Many are experiencing extreme stress, anxiety, or trauma.
In the last financial year, our Advice Hubs supported 485 young people facing homelessness, 360 young people experiencing issues relating to money or debt and 2,394 young people struggling with their mental health.
Our Winter Giving Campaign aims to take the stress out of winter for young people aged 11-25 in Norfolk, whatever that might mean for them.
The MAP Winter Giving Campaign will be running from November 2026 until February 2027. We truly appreciate any contribution and look forward to seeing the impact of our first Winter campaign on the lives of young people in Norfolk.
