Housing and Community Support in the North East
Providing trusted community support across the North East.
Anne Marie Martin Community CIC works alongside individuals, families and local organisations to improve wellbeing, overcome barriers and create opportunities.
Through housing support, digital inclusion and community connections, we help people access practical support when they need it most.
WHY OUR WORK MATTERS
Local challenges. Real people. Stronger communities.
Across Sunderland, South Tyneside and County Durham, too many people and families face barriers to a secure and independent future.
Housing insecurity, financial pressure, digital exclusion and isolation can often overlap. Behind every statistic is a person who may simply need the right support, at the right time, to move forward.
