Merry Christmas!!

Missionaries from the England Manchester Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who have now returned to their homes in more than countries around the world will be running, walking and fundraising for Barnabus over the Christmas period. Each served for between 18 months - 3 years in and around the Manchester area some time during the period between 2017-2020 and we look forward to being able to give back to this place that is so special to us all.

Beeta Christmas charity appeal!

Beeta Tech LTD

Merry Christmas! 2020 has been a rollercoaster for us all but, particularly so, for the vulnerable people that rely on the charity sector.
This year, rather than sending Christmas cards, we have decided to donate to one of Manchester’s leading homeless charities, Barnabus. If you can get involved, any donation big or small would be greatly appreciated! #makingChristmasBeeta 🎄

Express Solicitors Christmas Appeal for Barnabus

Express Solicitors Ltd

A little about Barnabus and their Cold Weather Appeal - "During periods of severe cold weather when temperatures are forecast to fall below 0 degrees, emergency accommodation for people sleeping rough is provided by Manchester Council for a period of 3 days. We know all too well how life threatening these severe cold temperatures can be. As an aid to this year’s cold weather provision we have committed to provide a 3 day supply of essential items and this is where we need your, your family and f

Huge steps for our friend

Andy has come on so far and has developed the confidence that he had lost along the way. He gives us so much hope, and reminds us why we will never give up on someone. Read Andy's story here
Lockdown Fundraising Ideas

Between the Lockdown restrictions and the cold wet weather of winter we will all be spending alot of time indoors for the next month. However this doesn't mean you can't get together with your family or housemates and even your friends (virtually) for some fun and raise life changing funds to support people experiencing homelessness.
Starting the year as we mean to go on

There is often a lot of help and support for people who spend the Christmas holiday on the streets. Sadly, though, this is usually short lived. Every year there is much less on offer on New Year’s Day, which is why we always try to ensure our doors a

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

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.
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.
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.
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

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.
Freedom from Sleeping Rough and Addiction

We’re so proud of her and we’re blessed and privileged to have been able to offer support and be on this journey of hope together.
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

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.
