Homes and Dreams Gala

Barnabus is a Manchester Christian Homeless Charity supporting people out of homelessness for over 30 years in our City. Everything we do comes down to one thing: to help people in their journey off the streets and into a home for good.

Join us for our Homes & Dreams Gala Dinner this November at the iconic Midland Hotel for a fun night of fantastic live entertainment, delicious food, not to be missed auction, raffle and incredible stories of hope.

All guests are invited to our drinks reception to enjoy a welcome glass of prosecco at our private Octagon welcome drinks area. The main event will then take place in the stunning Trafford Suite.

Bring your friends, colleagues and clients to celebrate the year and Christmas together all whilst being part of someone’s journey to leave homelessness for good.

Shining a light on access to Physiotherapy

Sleeping on the cold hard streets results in many aches and pains and aggravates existing problems and injuries. The relief from the pain that physiotherapy can provide is life changing for many of our friends. For the past four years Barnabus has hosted physiotherapy students from Manchester Metropolitan University, supervised by a physiotherapist, in our medical suite. It's a brilliant opportunity for the students to gain clinical experience whilst also providing our friends with physiotherapy

Volunteer with us

Our wonderful volunteers are the heart of what we do and without them, we couldn’t do the work we do to get people housed. We have volunteers from all over Greater Manchester, as well as Cheshire and Lancashire, all age groups and all walks of life.

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.
Great Manchester Run, Sunday 26th May, 2024

We love this supporting our sponsored runners at this event. Set your self the personal goal of taking part in one of Europe's biggest 10km races and raising funds to change the lives of people without a home and we will do all we can to support you.
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.
