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.
What will you do…?
From bake-offs to inflatable obstacle courses, running challenges to read-athons, there are lots of ways you can get involved in Every Step for Caritas this year.
However you choose to take part, you can be sure that the impact of your amazing efforts will help support people in Greater Manchester and Lancashire at a time they need it most.
The cost-of-living crisis is hitting our local communities hard with hundreds of thousands of people living in poverty.
Demand for our services is higher than ever as hardworking 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?

Where we can help
