    Sad news from the streets

    It doesn't happen often anymore, thank goodness, but a couple of weeks ago, someone we knew died on the streets in Manchester.

    End of Week Blog 27/03/2020

    What a week it’s been, not just for Barnabus, but for the whole of our nation. Last week was all about shock and panic, this week was all about mobilisation when we realised we were moving to lockdown due to the corona virus.

  • Success finding our friend a new home during lockdown

    Success finding our friend a new home during lockdown

    In July,  Aimee, our Resettlement Worker, was able to house someone experiencing homelessness. This is doubly impressive as she has done this despite the challenges posed by COVID19 and in her first month back from maternity leave. Our outreach team first met this man when he was rough sleeping on Market Street in May during the peak of the Lockdown. Our support team were able to house him in temporary accommodation in the city.

  • Our support team are still a lifeline through this lockdown

    Our support team are still a lifeline through this lockdown

    Stephen Rowley is our Head of Support; before the crisis he was supporting rough sleepers and people experiencing homelessness with one to one support at our Support Office and Drop in. During this lockdown he is now providing support on the phone to rough sleepers in hotels and tenants self isolating in our Resettlement project. He is also feeding back to the team any deliveries or practical support that may be needed.

  • Rachel’s Story

    Rachel’s Story

    Rachel came to Barnabus in September 2018. She had lost her job and the property she was living in was attached to her employment which made her homeless and destitute. She was very much out of her depth and did not know where she needed to go or what to do.

    End of week blog 8/05/2020

    Sadly there is still a small group of people rough sleeping in Manchester, spending their days and nights on the streets. We are now doing street outreach again to feed these people and support them into accommodation

  • Volunteer with us

    Volunteer with us

    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.

  • Donate Items

    Donate Items

    As an essential service we are very much open despite this new lock down. Unfortunately we cannot currently take second hand clothing donations. We can however still take donations of long life food. You can also support us through our amazon wish list or other online gifts. Alternatively you can send us Supermarket / One4All gift cards.
