  • This is why we work hard to make the Beacon a welcoming place

    This is why we work hard to make the Beacon a welcoming place

    At Barnabus, we work hard to make our centre a welcoming place – one where the people who visit can trust us to always look out for their best interests. We build the Beacon in a way that best supports our friends on their journey away from the streets and into a home of their own. But sometimes, it can be lifesaving too. Here’s how…

  • Helping our friends overcome abuse

    Helping our friends overcome abuse

    The people who Barnabus supports are often very vulnerable and can fall victim to various forms of abuse. Just recently, we helped two men who had faced two different types of abuse: Glen* and Keith*. Here, we explain how we were able to help Glen and Keith overcome their challenges, learn skills to avoid future abuse, and continue on their path to recovery.

  • Prison visits prevent inmates from ending up on the streets

    Prison visits prevent inmates from ending up on the streets

    At Barnabus, we work closely with the prison service and related organisations to support people who have been – or are just about to be released from – prison. Whether they’ve lost touch with family and friends or are unable to organise it themselves, many people leave prison without a fixed address or accommodation plans. This most often leads directly to homelessness. We work hard to prevent this before it happens.

  • New Home – New Future

    New Home – New Future

    New Homes - New Future will enable us to have our very own supported property to promote recovery and independence for people who need more intensive support to learn how to thrive in a home. Empowering people who have been homeless to rebuild their lives and break free from the cycle of homelessness; to take hold of their dreams for the future and thrive in a home of their own.

    Our wonderful volunteers are the heart of what we do and without them, we couldn’t do the work we do to get people housed. 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.

  • Our history

    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.

  • In The Box with Marcus Rashford

    In The Box with Marcus Rashford

    Launched on Thursday 17th October, ‘In-The-Box’ is a Christmas campaign created by Manchester United and England International footballer Marcus Rashford to support some of Manchester’s biggest frontline services for those experiencing homelessness – Barnabus, Centrepoint, and Lifeshare.

  • 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.
