We work with schools, parishes, groups and individuals to form them in the principles and themes of Catholic Social Teaching, enabling and encouraging them to put their faith into action in a practical way in their communities.

We provide a range of services to support people both in school and beyond, including families, children and young people, refugees and people seeking asylum.

Where we can help
This map shows just some of the communities across Greater Manchester and Lancashire where our teams work to support people…
Our name – Caritas Salford – is reflective of the fact that we’re the charity of the Catholic Diocese of Salford.
Our reach though, spans not just Salford, but right across 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.
“Our staff session from Caritas gave us lots of ideas to move forward and help support our children with Catholic Social Teaching…it has created scaffolding for lesson planning and cross-curricular delivery.”
