Statement of Faith

Barnabus Manchester is a Christian charity, called to serve and support people experiencing homelessness in our city. Our work is rooted in and flows from our shared Christian faith. This statement outlines the core beliefs that unite us as staff, trustees, and volunteers, guiding our mission and operations.


We affirm our faith in one God, eternally existent in the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, who was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man

We believe that Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins and through his death and resurrection, he has conquered sin and death and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

  • Starting From Scratch

    Starting From Scratch

    Stanley has been accessing Barnabus’ services at our Beacon support centre since September 2024. Prior to this, he had experienced six years of rough sleeping in Manchester, with only intermittent periods of sofa surfing between friends and family. His homelessness began following a relationship breakdown and over time he developed a significant dependency on alcohol, which further impacted his physical health and stability.

    A journey from uncertainty to stability

    We first met Lily and Peter several years ago after they were granted refugee status. While this was a major step forward, it also brought sudden instability. As they were no longer eligible to remain in Home Office accommodation, they quickly found themselves facing homelessness, unsure where they would sleep from one night to the next.

  • 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.

  • What would make someone choose to sleep on the floor next to their bed rather than in it?

    What would make someone choose to sleep on the floor next to their bed rather than in it?

    What would make someone choose to sleep on the floor next to their bed rather than in it? Some of the people we support struggle so deeply with trauma that even when they have a home they find themselves struggling or completely unable to sleep in the bed, instead they choose to sleep on the floor, on their sofas or sometimes even spending nights back on the streets.
