Morning Star, next to our Cornerstone centre in central Manchester provides a safe, high quality supported accommodation for 20 single homeless men.
Housing and homelessness
Our aim is to ensure people have support to prevent them becoming homeless, that those who do are helped to secure, safe accommodation, and that no-one has to sleep rough.
Our services supporting people experiencing homelessness provide a warm welcome and holistic support – from help with housing, finance, benefits and physical and mental health and wellbeing issues, to the provision of nutritious meals and a warm place where people can socialise and join in a range of activities.
236
people were helped to move off the streets and out of homelessness into secure supported or permanent accommodation by our team last year.
446
activity sessions were run by our homelessness services to help people increase their skills, confidence and self-esteem.
275
people came along to our regular drop-ins with specialist agencies, from housing advice to GP sessions, free optician appointments to mental-health support.

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.
“I’m only where I am because you made me feel I could do it and you never stopped believing in me, which is something that hasn’t happened much in my life.”
