Assisting the people and community of Great Yarmouth

At the heart of our Collective is a team of Experts by Experience, who bring their personal understanding of homelessness and have been involved in shaping the project from the start. They have actively recruited new members and are now sharing their collective experience with other organisations in the town. While they focus on working with those who have lived experience, they are open to partnering with a wide range of organisations, not just those focused on homelessness, to help bring about positive change in the community.

Where we began

The seed of the Lived Experience Collective Great Yarmouth germinated in 2018, through the culmination of working together to deliver our One Cup Programme – bringing communities together to better understand one another and to work towards reducing loneliness.
