Collecting items to support us
We are very grateful for the in-kind collections many groups like to have on our behalf. They save the charity money, which means funds can be diverted to where they are critically needed in supporting children and adults.
Collections of items this Winter
Donations are welcome all year round. We are currently urgently in need of shopping voucher or cash donations. If you are unable to donate a shopping voucher or cash at this time, please see our guide on what items we are looking for this Winter.
Collections of store cupboard items
If you could please help with supplying our services with some commonly required store cupboard items, we’d be hugely grateful.
Perishable items
We buy fresh food on a daily basis, so if you are able to contribute anything towards the cost of these, we would welcome any kind donation.
Where your money goes
It costs £12,000 per day to provide the level of service and support being delivered in Caritas projects across Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
Which means that everyone who needs it is able to access urgent practical help required, as well as any advice and support that will help them for the 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.
