Where we can help
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.
“Having a Caritas worker means I can concentrate more of my time and energy on the school learning and education aspects of what I do…There is someone else to work with who often knows the families and children, and, even if they do not, they can assist and have greater familiarity with the processes and knowledge of how to complete safeguarding or other assessments.”
