We aim to ensure people have support to prevent them becoming homeless, that those who do are helped to secure, safe accommodation, and that no-one has to sleep rough.
Transforming lives this Lent
Whether you’re fasting, amending your behaviour or adapting your thoughts and focus…as you pray, fast and give this Lent the change you’re making could also help local people to change their life.
By remembering Caritas Salford during Lent, your donations and prayers will make a real difference to the lives of the local people in Greater Manchester and Lancashire that we support – people in our local communities facing poverty, disadvantage, homelessness and isolation right now.
Will you make a change to help them to change their lives with dignity?
Hundreds of thousands of adults and children in Greater Manchester and Lancashire live in poverty.
Demand for our services is higher than ever as families and individuals struggle to keep a roof over their head, food on the table, and a warm and safe place to bring up their children.
Can you please help us to support even more people in crisis – both now and for the long-term?
