Homelessness in Manchester

If you’ve walked the streets of Manchester, you’ve almost certainly passed by a rough sleeper. In fact, you’ve probably noticed that there are more people living and sleeping out on the streets. In 2010, the official rough sleeper figure was 7. In 2018, it was 94. Unfortunately, we know that in reality, the number is much higher. Please read on to find out more about homelessness in our city. Read more
How we're helping

The stress and anxiety people can suffer when they are homeless means they often feel afraid to reach out and taking that small step towards getting help can seem like a mammoth task. That’s why our team is there to help from the start, giving tailored support and advice every single step of the way. Read more

Barnabus Quiz Night 20th February, 2020

Hosted by the Famous Franky Brockett you can take part in teams of up to 6 people battling it out for prizes. It's just £10 a ticket and all funds raised will go toward supporting those experiencing homelessness back into a home through the work of Barnabus.

How you can help

To enable us to continue our lifesaving work on the streets of Manchester we need your support...

Donate items

66% of the people we support sleep rough on the streets in all weathers, with others staying in emergency shelters, hostels or even sofa surfing. Donating food can help us serve hot meals, your unwanted clothes can keep our friends warm and dry, and unused toiletries, new: underwear and socks can help to make those who sleep rough feel human again.

Fundraising ideas

Swim, cycle, skydive, climb a mountain, shave your head, organise an event - the only limit is your imagination! We’ve had people running marathons all over Europe, riding their bikes the length of the country, dressing up as Smurfs and we even had a lady in her mid 80's playing an organ for 14 hours non-stop!

Volunteer for us

Barnabus relies on over 90 volunteers a week to open our doors and welcome people who need a friend. We have volunteers from all over Greater Manchester, as well as Cheshire and Lancashire, all age groups and all walks of life.

	65%	Of our visitors were sleeping rough in Manchester
	90 people	Are served a cooked breakfast every week day
	2,389	Visits to our Beacon drop-in centre this month
	11,949	Man hours provided by our volunteers this year
