How we help at New Court

New Court offers accommodation in Hull to people enduring mental ill health. We provide support to help break the cycle of homelessness, and build confidence to live independently.

We help you deal with daily life when you’re faced with the challenges of mental ill-health, from anxiety, depression to paranoia or schizophrenia. We work with you to develop a support plan to meet your needs.

You’ll find:

• Self-contained bedsits with own kitchen and bathroom, or self-contained bungalow with own facilities. Disabled facilities available
• Access to our support team 24-hours a day via our telephone hotline
• Help to access courses on confidence and motivation, healthy eating, creative crafts, IT and digital learning and employability
• Confidence-building, with support around budgeting and applying for benefits
• Advice and practical help around tenancy issues, rent management, life skills, cooking, shopping, attending appointments and family liaison
• Signposting to external organisations for bespoke support around mental health
• Help accessing education, training, work and volunteering that are therapeutic and beneficial to health

How it works

Referrals are made by a number of agencies, including the NHS, community mental health teams, and MIND.

Men and women aged 18 or above are eligible if they are homeless, or at serious risk of homelessness, and are enduring mental ill health, including complex needs or dual diagnosis.

We work with access agencies, including community mental health teams, to provide a support plan to meet your needs.

Getting the most out of our service

We aim to provide a supportive and enabling environment for those who are vulnerable but willing to accept support.
