We believe everyone should have the opportunity to participate in all activities. Our accessibility work includes a range of training, engagement and other activities to support people in our services and beyond.
Accessibility
It’s important to us that as many people can access our services as possible – everyone is welcome.
We also work with local groups from across Greater Manchester and Lancashire to improve accessibility and offer a range of services to support people from some of those communities too.
620
square miles across Greater Manchester and Lancashire – that’s how far our services span. Everyone is welcome.
1000s
of people are supported every year by our range of community and outreach services.
352
adults and 125 children attended accessibility awareness sessions delivered by our team last year.
Everyone, wherever they live, and whatever community they are from, is welcome at our services.

Our locations
Where we can help
This map shows just some of the communities across Greater Manchester and Lancashire where our teams work to support local people…
Our name – Caritas Salford – is reflective of the fact that we’re the domestic social action charity of the Catholic Diocese of Salford.
Our reach though, spans not just Salford, but right across the diocese, taking in most of Greater Manchester and parts of Lancashire too.
We’re really proud to be able to work in the heart of communities across our area.
If you’d like to connect with us, get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
“I learnt so much about how deafness affects a person and how important it is for us to become inclusive and have sign language as part of our parish, community and life.”
