Morning Star
Morning Star, next to our Cornerstone centre in central Manchester provides a safe, high quality supported accommodation for 20 single homeless men.
The team provides the time for people to build the confidence and skills for independent living and supports the re-establishment of relationships with those closest to them if possible. We work alongside people to empower them to transform their lives with dignity, aiming to help them to move on and successfully resettle in the community.
We’ve recently redesigned Morning Star as a supported alternative to unsupported bed and breakfast provision, creating a new pathway to help local people off the streets.
Each person living at Morning Star has their own bedroom, access to a shared kitchen and living room, and a support worker.
The service is tailored to the needs of the individuals and we always aim to listen and adapt to ensure we can meet their needs and support them to transform their lives.
Located on Demark Road, Morning Star adjoins our Cornerstone centre, and residents can make use of the extensive range of services provided there, including:
- Educational activities
- Recreational activities
- Free community lunch
- GP and nurse service access and free access to optician
- Sessions with drug, alcohol and mental health specialists
- Multi-agency meetings and weekly support sessions
- Use of onsite outdoor gym
- Community gardening
- Volunteering opportunities
- A range of other activities run by support staff
“…When I was with you, you were a fantastic support to me in the lowest time in my life. I have never stayed anywhere so full of love and care for people at their lowest ebb. I have stayed in other places that were very scary and unsafe. I finally have a flat and a cat and it’s fantastic. Love and hugs to every member or staff who supported me through those desperate weeks. I would not have survived without you all.”
