Cornerstone Day Centre has been providing services for people in need since 1991 in a warm and friendly environment, upholding dignity, giving hope and rebuilding broken lives. Since Winter 2015 Cornerstone runs the Safe Haven night provision or pods which started as a temporary measure but continues to answers the needs to prevent rough sleeping and saving lives. In Winter 2018-19, the Cornerstone accommodated up to 31 people who would otherwise be rough sleeping on the streets or in tents around Manchester.Whilst running the night provision, Cornerstone Day Centre opens its door to people facing a wide range of issues from homelessness, poverty, social isolation, poor mental health, drug and alcohol addictions. Cornerstone serves hot food, sandwiches and hot drinks throughout the day, provides shower and laundry facilities, clothing shop, free haircuts, and a computer suite to help people apply for jobs, volunteering, housing, benefits and immigration

A group of both students and teachers from Loreto College are participating in an annual ‘sleep out’ where we will sleep outside on the college courtyard overnight in order to bring awareness to the challenges the homeless may face while sleeping on the streets, we hope to understand even just a fraction of what they feel in order for us to help promote this issue and raise money to support such an important charity to our community.

We thank you for even the smallest donation given as any amount of money can make a difference. 

Wish us luck! Katie & Izzy.
