Manna House is a charity that provides vital support for people at risk of homelessness in Kendal. They are in desperate need of funding to be able to sustain their services.

The Manna House drop-in is open three days a week at the Stephenson Centre in Kendal. It provides housing and benefits advice, hot meals, tea and coffee, clothing, blankets, shower and laundry facilities, internet access and referrals to other agencies.

Advisors have a wealth of experience and put people at ease as they navigate complex situations. Manna House run a Skills Café every Wednesday where everyone contributes, whether through a workshop, kitchen help or community activities. It finishes with a shared three-course lunch in our Learning Kitchen, where food becomes both nourishment and lesson. The café builds confidence, boosts employability, and strengthens the sense of community.

They have two mental health Drop-ins taking place every Monday. The Sew What? group for women offers crafting, stitching and a safe place to share confidences. The Conversation Café is a facilitated peer support group, which helps participants get to grips with the language of emotions and access 1 to 1 support.

Without Manna House people in need of their support would have no-where else to turn so your support to help them continue would be greatly appreciated.
