Where your money goes

It costs £12,000 per day to provide the level of service being delivered in Caritas projects across Greater Manchester and Lancashire. That’s not just urgent crisis support but also help that will last long-term.

Every single donation matters because it means nobody is turned away or left behind.

These are just some examples of how your donation could be used to provide critical support – right now – or help someone begin to transform their own life with dignity.
