The Big Change Campaign – Manchester ending homelessness

25 Nov 2016 - 10:49 by michelle.foster

Want to help the homeless this winter?

There are lots of ways you can support homeless people in Manchester, but rather than giving money directly to people on the streets, supporting the Big Change campaign helps to bring about long-term change.

Bringing together charities, organisations and individuals who want to end homelessness, the Big Change campaign really will make a big change in our city, and there are lots of things you can do to help:
• Donate to the Big Change fund – it’s used by the relevant charities and organisations to make sure your donation gives maximum benefit, helping people to build new lives away from the streets. It can help fund deposits for flats, for example, or training courses and bus fares for job interviews
• Find out what the charities that are working directly with the homeless really need, before going ahead with a collection of items. The website provides up to date information of what’s needed the most
• Give to the charities direct to make sure your donations get to the people who need them most
• Give your time. You can volunteer to help at many of the charities or organisations working daily to support homeless people
