I try and take part in the Sleep Over every other year - and this year is the fourth time around!

Covid and workplaces working from home (leading to less team building activities) has had a very significant impact on fundraising - whilst the cost of living rise and austerity measures have sadly increased demand on our services.

The Booth Centre is a community centre run with and for people affected by homelessness.

​The Booth Centre provides a warm welcome, an opportunity to belong, to gain a purpose and rebuild lives. Our programme includes activities such as volunteering, creative projects and sports, as well as training and help to gain employment. We also support people to improve health and wellbeing, to access emergency accommodation, and to secure and maintain a permanent home.

Thank you for your support for what the brilliant team does every day for people facing and living with homelessness in Manchester. NB I am now a Trustee for the charity.
