Access Community Trust
From humble beginnings as a homeless night shelter in Lowestoft, Access Community Trust has grown significantly in scale and reach for nearly half a century.
Today, the charity champions homelessness support across East Anglia, alongside providing a range of mental health and wellbeing assistance that helps vulnerable individuals of all ages, families and, wider communities that find themselves socially isolated.
What makes Access different?
We support people who may be homeless, vulnerable and those who are socially isolated. We believe that everyone, irrespective of their background or circumstances, is entitled to live in a decent home, enjoy positive and rewarding relationships with others, engage in meaningful activities, and achieve their full potential.
Our services support everyone, and our goal is to help people to achieve lifelong independence.
