We work with a number of specialist agencies offering individual support and advice for our customers:

Leeway

Leeway is a specialist domestic abuse charity based in Norfolk and Suffolk. It supports adults, children and young people. We manage 2 refuges in Norfolk with Leeway for women escaping domestic violence.

Leeway helps the women work through complex issues - rebuilding their self-esteem. In 2010/11 we supported around 80 women and 100 children.

Norfolk Housing Alliance

We are members of the Norfolk Housing Alliance, a body made up of the 10 major housing associations in Norfolk as well as the only two remaining stock holding councils in Norfolk, Norwich City Council and Great Yarmouth Borough Council.   Members work collaboratively on common purposes and aims, maximising the impact of initiatives through efficiency, innovation and joint working.   Through the formation of a single social housing provider body for the county, the Norfolk Housing Alliance has strengthened strategic relationships through active partnership working and co-operation with Norfolk statutory agencies and voluntary and specialist agencies. We currently hold the chairmanship of the Alliance for 2012/13.
