Healthy Homes, Healthy Futures

A new project supporting financial resilience across Great Yarmouth

Action Community Enterprises (ACE) is delighted to be launching Healthy Homes, Healthy Futures, a new project designed to help individuals and families experiencing financial hardship build greater financial stability, confidence and independence.
Funded through the Norfolk Crisis and Resilience Grant Programme via Norfolk County Council, the project will provide practical, community-based support for residents across Great Yarmouth and surrounding communities who are facing challenges such as rising living costs, low income, food insecurity, debt pressures, unemployment, or financial uncertainty.

What support will be available?

Participants will receive personalised support tailored to their individual circumstances and goals. This may include:
  • One-to-one support and/or group workshops.
  • Budgeting and money management guidance.
  • Help to maximise household income and access available support.
  • Healthy living on a budget workshops.
  • Practical advice on reducing household costs.
  • Confidence-building and community engagement activities.
  • Signposting and referrals to specialist services where needed.
  • Support to access volunteering, training, learning and employment opportunities.
Every participant will receive an individual action plan designed to help them improve their financial wellbeing and build long-term resilience.

Why is this project needed?

Many local households continue to face significant financial pressures. Rising living costs, debt, housing challenges and economic uncertainty can make it difficult for people to achieve financial stability and plan for the future.
Too often, people seek support only when they have reached crisis point. Healthy Homes, Healthy Futures aims to provide early intervention and practical support that helps prevent problems from escalating, empowering individuals and families to take positive steps towards greater independence and wellbeing.

Working together for stronger communities

The project will work closely with local partners, community organisations, referral agencies and trusted community venues to ensure residents can access the right support at the right time.
By combining practical financial guidance, healthy living support and pathways into learning and employment, Healthy Homes, Healthy Futures will help people develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to thrive.
