The Matthew Project is a charity based in Norfolk, working in innovative ways together with people and communities affected by substance misuse and associated issues. Through our varied services, we’ve been supporting children, teenagers, adults and military veterans to receive professional advice, information, counselling, care and education for over 37 years.

We have workers based across the county in both rural and urban areas. Our work takes place in a variety of settings including schools, youth venues, police stations, courts, in the community and at our own award-winning Next Steps centre based in the heart of Norwich.

The centre is Norfolk’s first ever community recovery hub, providing a safe space for those in recovery from addiction to learn new skills, build community and maintain their recovery. The centre also provides additional support for affected others, veterans, and NEET young people (not in education, employment or training). Next Steps has quickly become a valuable community asset, remaining open throughout the pandemic, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming our local business community once things return to normal.
