What happens when vulnerability is missed: Terry’s story

Terry* arrived at Barnabus two years ago while sleeping rough and living with the effects of a serious brain injury that had never been properly recognised or supported. His confusion, memory loss, emotional distress and difficulty maintaining safe relationships were not simply behaviours; they were symptoms of a condition that left him extremely vulnerable to exploitation and isolation.
Farewell from Cristina

The word has gotten out that I am leaving, some ask with sadness, then others just want to wish me well. I realize more deeply that I’ll miss this corner of Manchester where I have been watching people from all walks of life, faiths, and nations come together to share a table and look out for one another. “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Homelessness in Manchester

If you’ve walked the streets of Manchester, you’ve almost certainly passed by a rough sleeper. In fact, you’ve probably noticed that there are more people living and sleeping out on the streets. In 2010, the official rough sleeper figure was 7. In 2018, it was 94. Unfortunately, we know that in reality, the number is much higher. Please read on to find out more about homelessness in our city.

How we're helping

The stress and anxiety people can suffer when they are homeless means they often feel afraid to reach out and taking that small step towards getting help can seem like a mammoth task. That’s why our team is there to help from the start, giving tailored support and advice every single step of the way.
