Move On East works in partnership with Norfolk Probation Area to deliver a range of accommodation services, across Norfolk, to individuals supervised by the Probation Service.

Staff have considerable knowledge and experience in housing issues. We can also make referrals to other agencies who offer additional support including specialist legal advice or practical help such as blankets for rough sleepers, food parcels & medical services.

When we are providing information and advice to someone we obtain their written consent before speaking to other people. We aim to co-ordinate the support our clients need in order to get the best results.
