As I’ve had first hand experience with homelessness I know how important foundations like the Macari centre are to people who have faced difficulties and need that support to get their lives back on track. I’ll be putting my own money towards the donations as I feel it only right for me to personally give back as well as raising the donations. Thank you.

In 2016, a news bulletin about homelessness drove Lou Macari out of his house and on to the streets of Stoke-on-Trent to find out what life was like for someone who was homeless.

Having seen the level of need in his adopted city, Lou decided to do everything he could to help those who find themselves homeless, work towards better lives.

From humble beginnings, the Macari Centre (Victoria) in Stoke-on-Trent, now provides support and accommodation in self-contained apartments.

Our residents have access to support from our team of trained staff, 24 hours a day.

We firmly believe that our residents are capable of change and will achieve their full potential when offered a secure, supportive, empowering and non-judgmental environment.
