  2. Our ethos

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. We believe that every person we help is able to transform their lives with a helping hand from us, and from other organisations in Manchester. We believe that everyone is equal in the eyes of God, so we treat each and every person we meet as an individual. This means giving them tailored support and the power to make their own choices.

Our Board of Trustees are Christians who seek God’s will in all we do. The CEO and Senior Management team are Christians who have been called to help those in need – to give them love, hope and support.

    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

    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’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.

  • 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.
