Overview

We now assist more than 150 households and employ around 20 staff through our support and befriending services. Central to our approach has been the delivery of services at a local level. Primarily we provide floating support services, but we also have some supported accommodation in Cheshire.

Our expertise in delivering support has developed over the last few years and we now work with people who have a range of issues and come from diverse backgrounds. For example, we work with: Elderly people who are showing early signs of dementia, Members of Manchester's black and minority ethnic community who have issues around mental health, Irish men in Manchester with issues around alcohol misuse and homelessness, Older people at risk of becoming socially isolated, Homeless families and young people at risk in Cheshire.
