Fundraising Ideas

Swim, cycle, parachute jump, 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 80s playing an organ for 14 hours non-stop!

If you know what you would like to do to support us please create a fundraising page here,where your friends family and colleagues can all support you and donate.

Or if your still looking for inspiration please find fundraising events that others are participating in for Barnabus on our fundraising events page.

If you have an idea you would like to share with us, please give Carol our Head of Fundraising a call on 0161 237 3223 or email [email protected] and we’ll do our best to support you.

Whatever you do, have fun and a huge thank you for choosing to help Barnabus. Together we can transform lives and without you, we wouldn’t be able to help as many people as we do.

  • Give Hope This Christmas

    Homelessness is devastating at any time of year but at Christmas, when Manchester is full of party goers and people shopping for loved ones, the difference between those that have and those that don’t, is sadly easy to see. We know you want to make a difference so we've come up with some suggestions of how you can help bring Joy at this special time of year.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Donate items

    66% of the people we see 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, underwear and socks can help to make those who sleep rough feel human again.

  • Fundraising ideas

    Swim, cycle, parachute jump, 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 80s playing an organ for 14 hours non-stop!

  • Our history

    It all started in 1991 with one man, some sandwiches and a flask of hot coffee. Walking the streets of Manchester, our founder Peter Green could not believe that there were people on his doorstep who had nothing. So, with a little help from his Christian faith, he set out to do something. Luckily, Peter and his wife Beryl had plenty of love – and sandwiches – to share.

  • I'm homeless and need help

    Barnabus helps adults who are homeless – whether you’re living on the streets, in temporary accommodation or at risk of homelessness. If you have a family with dependents under the age of 18 or are under 18 yourself, we recommend that you contact your local authority immediately.

  • Our ethos

    Barnabus is at heart a Christian charity. We want to share God’s love by giving hope and support to those who really need it. We believe that everybody has the right to live in their own home, the right to have friends and family who care, and the right to have a purpose in life. Most of all, we believe that everybody has a right to love.

  • Drop in timetable

    Our drop in centre is open every weekday between 10:30am till 9pm. Please find details of our activities and services in our timetable.

  • Street outreach

    This is where the foundations of a new life are laid. Our Street Outreach teams go out in the evenings to meet rough sleepers and build relationships, encouraging them to come to our drop in centre, visit our Support Workers and our lovely Homeless Outreach Nurse Liz, who is based at the Urban Village Medical Centre.

  • 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.
