Homelessness Help, Advice and Accommodation - Wisbech and March

Ferry Project is here to help people experiencing homelessness in Fenland. We offer much more than just accommodation – our goal is to empower individuals with the skills and support they need to live independently and move forward positively.

Our services include:

  • Emergency accommodation and hostel support – safe places to stay, with caring staff and tailored help.
  • Homelessness Hub – immediate help and advice for those at risk or currently homeless.
  • Support with health, employment, and housing – including help registering with a doctor, accessing benefits, and finding work.
  • Cookery School and Art Gallery – opportunities to learn new skills, build confidence, and connect with others.
  • Practical essentials – showers, laundry, meals, toiletries, clothing, and transport for appointments.

We work with people from all backgrounds, including those affected by substance misuse, mental health challenges, domestic violence, and involvement with the criminal justice system. Our team provides counselling, advice, and ongoing support to help you move on positively.

How to access our services:

  • If you are homeless, at risk, or know someone who needs help, contact us by phone, email, or visit our offices at Octavia View in Wisbech.
  • We support adults and young people in Fenland, and can help with emergency needs, longer-term accommodation, and pathways to independence.

All services are free for those in need. We are a registered charity and rely on donations to continue our work.

Get in touch today – we’re here to help you find safety, support, and a brighter future.
