Barnabus 'Manchester is Ours' 2021 30th Anniversary Calendar

Please help us make 2021 an amazing year for Barnabus, as we mark our 30^th anniversary bringing hope and transformation to rough sleepers and people experiencing homelessness in Manchester. We hope you will love our 2021 calendar as much as we do. It showcases 12 winning photographs from our 'Manchester is Ours' competition when we asked the people of Manchester to send us their images celebrating our diverse City and what Manchester means to them.

Our panel of judges selected 12 stunning photos and Manchester design agency Love. took these and blessed us with their design interpretation to produce this incredible calendar. We are only printing a limited number of calendars and they are available to pre-order now. Love. and corporate supporters blessed us so that 100% of the monies raised from the sale of these calendars will support our transforming work to bring hope to people rough sleeping and experiencing homelessness in Manchester.

We hope you will find these the perfect gift to give this Christmas at only £10 each with every pound supporting our work. We really couldn't do any of this without your support but together we can enable and empower people off the streets into independent living, give them hope for the future and a home.

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.
I'M HOMELESS AND I NEED HELP

Barnabus helps adults who are homeless – whether you’re living on the streets, in temporary accommodation or at risk of homelessness. If you have a family with dependents under the age of 18 or are under 18 yourself, we recommend that you contact your local authority immediately.

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.

Our history

It all started in 1991 with one couple, some sandwiches and a flask of hot coffee. Walking the streets of Manchester, our founder Peter Green could not believe that there were people on his doorstep who had nothing. So, with a little help from his Christian faith, he set out to do something. Luckily, Peter and his wife Beryl had plenty of love – and sandwiches – to share.
GETTING OFF THE STREETS TAKES MANY STEPS. WE’LL BE THERE FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM.

We host a range of social, creative and skill-based afternoon activities to improve self-confidence and wellbeing. They’re all held at our Beacon Support Centre.
