Support and guidance

People struggle financially for many reasons. The Norfolk Assistance Scheme (NAS) team wants to help you to manage better and for things to improve. We want to help you to live independently wherever possible and get out of financial hardship.

We can put you in touch with organisations who can offer support in many different ways. You can also find support organisations on the Norfolk Community Directory.

How support organisations could help you:

  • By offering budgeting information and advice. They will check you are receiving all the benefits you are entitled to
  • By providing free training to help you get back into work or get a better paid job
  • By giving your family support if there are difficulties at home
  • By assisting you if you struggle with addiction
  • By finding you a suitable support network or groups if you are isolated, lonely or struggling with mental health issues

The NAS team is trained to help you wherever possible.
