What is The Brick?

The Brick is a charity based in Wigan working to alleviate and prevent crisis and homelessness by combatting the effects of poverty. We offer support from housing, respite and food to confidence building and skills development.

What is See Me?

See Me is a campaign all about changing attitudes and conversations about people who are struggling and in crisis; they could be experiencing financial hardship, transitioning through or at risk of homelessness.

People who are experiencing hardship live in a world surrounded by negativity, from unfavourable portrayals in the media to a support system that focuses heavily on blame, addressing problems and correcting behaviour.

This negativity only fuels a sense of hopelessness and defeat in people going through a tough time; it leads to people giving up on themselves and their dreams.

But at The Brick we choose to see the potential in people. We've moved away from negativity, we work with people to develop their strengths, learn new skills and work toward their goals.

You can support the work we are doing by donation, volunteering, or applying for one of our vacancies.
