Our Norfolk Support at Home service provides support to 34 people with a wide range of needs helping them to maintain their independence in their own homes, whether that be with 24-hour support or 3 hours of support a week to access the community. The service supports people to keep living in their own homes as well as supporting them out and about, whether it be to the shops, the cinema, or a walk. The service recently organised a picnic at a local deer park for the people they support to socialise and enjoy a fun-filled day out together.
