Homelessness in Manchester Homelessness is a critical issue plaguing the vibrant city of Manchester. Many individuals and families find themselves without a place to call home, facing numerous challenges and obstacles. The lack of affordable housing, limited support services, and personal circumstances contribute to the growing problem of homelessness in the area. As the number of people experiencing homelessness continues to rise, organisations such as Smile Aid have stepped up to make a difference. I am raising money to help the Homeless people during the coming winter. I have Chosen Smile Aid as my charity as I know that their work is effective and all funds raised will go 100% towards the cause.
