Norfolk Assistance Scheme 

 

Requests for emergency cash or food due to the coronavirus situation should be made via phone on 01603 223392 (option 5) so that we can prioritise these. We may ask you to provide evidence to support your application such as bank statements, payslips, UC journal entries and any other evidence we think is necessary. Please be patient, as we are experiencing high call volumes.  

 

For all other help, please apply online if possible.

The Norfolk Assistance Scheme can help by providing emergency cash or food due to the coronavirus situation. 

If you have no one to assist you, the Norfolk Assistance Scheme will arrange a delivery of food and refer you to the Covid-19 Community Response Team, who will work alongside Adult Social Services to refer you to a voluntary organisation to help you with tasks like getting shopping, picking up prescription medication, and dog-walking. 
Also, welfare check calls (by telephone or on the doorstep) can be requested.
