Updated free signposting resources for your local community
Do you know someone who would enjoy this article?
People in communities across Greater Manchester and Lancashire often get in touch to ask about places they can signpost people locally to get support or advice on everything from homelessness to poverty, cost-of-living assistance to food crisis, refugee support to helping with drug and alcohol addictions – and lots more too.
Our handy signposting resources, which have proven helpful for people across the diocese, have recently been updated.
The series of area-specific handy signposting guides can be downloaded from our website and are designed to help point individuals and community groups to organisations or services who can help them at times of crisis and beyond.
With an increase in the number of people needing support due to the cost-of-living crisis and those who are experiencing extreme poverty or homelessness, we know that members of our local parishes, community groups and schools are often approached by people needing support quickly.
Our teams in our services across Greater Manchester and Lancashire are always happy to help and to provide assistance, and we have created these signposting guides that people can download from our website too, in the hope that they can also help at a time of acute crisis.
If you have any queries or require additional support in your parish, please contact Matt Yates by clicking here to email him.
